The fourth is with Burnley

-

a rare moment of hope for Burnley and it was the visitors who looked more likely to score.

Peter Crouch set up Xherdan Shaqiri but he drove straight at Nick Pope and the keeper then denied Crouch. Shaqiri’s corner found Kurt Zouma but he shot straight at Pope.

Butland might have embarrasse­d himself with that fumble but aside from a shot from Johann Berg Gudmundsso­n that curled over the bar, there was little else to trouble him in the first period.

Burnley were marginally more threatenin­g after the restart, defenders Kevin Long and James Tarkowski narrowly missing Gudmundsso­n’s far-post free-kick. A poor clearance from Stoke substitute Kevin Wimmer also opened up a shot for Steven Defour which he drilled directly at Butland. Then Chris Wood’s failed attempted overhead kick presented Gudmundsso­n with a shooting chance that flew over.

It looked plain sailing for Stoke boss Mark Hughes, who was jeered by his own fans as he substitute­d Shaqiri late on, only for his hopes to be shattered by Barnes.

BURNLEY (4-4-1-1): Goal:

❑ WIGAN came from behind to scupper the dreams of non-League AFC Fylde in a thrilling FA Cup second-round replay at the DW Stadium.

Will Grigg scored two goals in the last 10 minutes for the Latics to give the 2013 cup winners a 3-2 win after Fylde, of the National League, looked to have secured a trip to Premier League Bournemout­h.

And there was bitter disappoint­ment, too, for fellow National Leaguers Woking, who missed out on an away tie against Aston Villa when they lost 5-2 to League One Peterborou­gh at London Road.
