Europa League heartbreak for Aberdeen
They were beaten 3-1 after extra time in their second leg at Burnley
Aberdeen are out of the Europa League, after a 3-1 defeat after extra time at Burnley.
It was one all after 90 minutes - Chris Wood put the English Premier League side ahead in the opening minutes, before a stunning overhead kick by Lewis Ferguson put the score level.
But Jack Cork and Ashley Barnes both scored for Burnley in the extra half hour.
Aberdeen's Derek McInnes was upbeat in defeat, buoyed by the manner of his side's performance over two legs.
The financial might of the teams may be considerably different, but there was no deficit in heart or commitment to the cause.
"My first thought is disappointment for my players, but there's no criticism,'' he said.
"We can't afford to be too disappointed because we now have to focus on the domestic game and Rangers on Sunday.
"We were very good over two ties to go toe to toe with a team like Burnley. We'll dust ourselves down and take the positives and there's plenty of them.
"There was nothing in the game for me. We knew a second goal would have finished them, but we never got the goal and they did.'"
Sean Dyche's team will face Istanbul Basaksehir in the Europa League next week, but he admitted:
"I can't even say the name yet, but we've had people sussing things out, we'll be all right."
