Burnley's route to the 5th round

The Clarets began their FA Cup journey back in January with a trip to AFC Bournemouth in the third round, where Kompany's men beat the Premier League side 4-2 at the Vitality Stadium.

Braces from Manuel Benson and Anass Zaroury on the south coast set up a fourth round clash with Ipswich Town away.

Following a goalless draw at Portman Road with the Sky Bet League one side, the two side's forced a replay at Turf Moor with a Nathan Tella brace securing a spot in the fifth round in a 2-1 victory.
