Mansfield Town are through to the fifth round too after coming from behind to shock Premier League Burnley 2-1 at Turf Moor.

A much-changed Manchester City beat Salford City 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium to progress to the Emirates FA Cup fifth round - but the biggest shock on Saturday saw League One side Mansfield Town come from behind to shock Burnley 2-1 at Turf Moor.
Pep Guardiola rotated his City squad, with Erling Haaland among those not called upon to face League Two opponents whom they thrashed 8-0 in the competition last season.
It looked like it could be another long afternoon for the visitors when Alfie Dorrington's own goal put City in front after just eight minutes, but the hosts did not extend their advantage until the final 10 minutes, when Marc Guehi notched his first goal since his £20 million move from Crystal Palace in January.
Earlier, Omar Marmoush's fine rifled finish from the angle into the roof of the net was disallowed for offside, when it appeared the forward had timed his run perfectly. But with no VAR in operation, the decision not to allow the goal was not overturned.

The biggest result of the round so far, however, came in Lancashire as Burnley were dumped out by Mansfield, who have reached the fifth round for the first time in over half a century.
Nigel Clough's side fell behind when Josh Laurent collected Lyle Foster's pass to finish well on 21 minutes but The Stags rallied in the second half to claim a memorable victory thanks to goals from Rhys Oates and Louis Reed, completing a superb turnaround.
It was the first time since the 1974/75 season that Mansfield had reached the fifth round - the same campaign in which Nigel’s father, Brian, became manager of Nottingham Forest.

'One of the great FA Cup goals!' - Reed fires in glorious free-kick as Mansfield Town stun Burnley

Following Burnley’s 3–2 win at Crystal Palace in midweek, it appeared that Scott Parker’s side had turned a corner. However, the Clarets were jeered off the pitch by their supporters who remained at full-time.
Speaking on TNT Sports' Goals Show Xtra, Fara Williams said of Mansfield’s success: "This is what the FA Cup brings out in people - these moments are just magical."
Burnley ultimately paid the price for a series of missed opportunities, though Aaron McClean was not surprised by the quality of Reed’s winning free-kick.
McClean said: "He scored two absolute worldies against his boyhood club, Sheffield United. He’s gone and done it again."
Speaking to the BBC, a jubilant Reed said: "As soon as it left my boot, I felt it was going in. I’ve been working on them all week. The lads said, ‘This is your moment - go and take it.’ Thankfully, I did.
"It shows what a group we’ve got. The draws we keep getting are big ones. I always felt we were in the game, even when we were 1–0 down at half-time.
"It might sound like a cliche but whoever we get in the next round, we’ll go into it with the same energy as this one."
Elsewhere, in an all-Championship affair at Carrow Road, Norwich prevailed 3-1 against West Brom late on as Ben Chrisene's low finish and Mohamed Toure's header settled a close contest which saw Josh Maja cancel out Paris Maghoma's opener for the hosts.

Managerless Leicester's bleak winter continued as Southampton needed extra time to inflict another defeat on The Foxes at St Mary's.
The Saints' 2-1 victory was sealed by James Bree's far-post header in the 109th minute as Leicester, who sacked Marti Cifuentes last month, slumped to a second defeat in five days to their opponents having led 3-0 at home only to lose 4-3 in their midweek league meeting.
Oliver Skipp had levelled seven minutes into the second half with a spectacular overhead-kick following Cyle Larin's first-half penalty for the hosts.
