Lincoln City’s Danny Cowley triumphed where more celebrated managers have failed this season by masterminding his minor league battlers to a stunning 1-0 FA Cup victory at Burnley’s Turf Moor fortress on Saturday. It was no fluke either as Cowley’s side comfortably held at bay a team who a week ago were well worth a 1-1 home draw with Antonio Conte’s runaway Premier League leaders Chelsea. “The last eight of the FA Cup sounds pretty good.”Lincoln joined a select list of minor league sides to knock out top-flight opposition in the world’s oldest cup competition. Lincoln City continued the FA Cup’s tradition of small teams causing big upsets. (AFP)Among the biggest shocks were Luton Town’s win over Premier League Norwich City in 2013, Sutton United’s classic upset of Coventry City in 1989 and Hereford United’s infamous defeat of Newcastle United in 1972.
