FA Cup: Burnley 1-2 Mansfield Town - News Summed Up

FA Cup: Burnley 1-2 Mansfield Town


League One side Mansfield Town came from behind to beat Premier League strugglers Burnley and reach the fifth round of the FA Cup for the first time since 1975. Josh Laurent put the Clarets in the lead midway through the first half but second-half goals from Rhys Oates and Louis Reed completed a brilliant second-half turnaround to see the Stags progress. But Oates got a second chance to tie things up and this time took his opportunity, climbing above his man to head home brilliantly from a Knoyle cross. Burnley took control of the game again soon after but it was the League One side that turned the game on its head when captain Louis Reed curled in a delightful free-kick from 25 yards with just 10 minutes remaining. Zian Flemming could have salvaged the game for Scott Parker's side when he blazed over from six-yards out in stoppage time but the Stags held on to complete a memorable upset.
