Lincoln stun Burnley, Leicester fall to Millwall in FA Cup


Lincoln City produced a huge FA Cup shock to beat top-flight Burnley 1-0 away and become the first minor league club to reach the quarter-finals for 103 years on Saturday. Middlesbrough were the only Premier League side to guarantee a quarter-final slot, quelling a comeback by third-tier Oxford United to win 3-2 at the Riverside Stadium. Millwall's third win over Premier League opposition this season, secured by Shaun Cummings's late goal, would ordinarily have topped the shocks, but they were outdone by Lincoln. Sean Raggett's headed goal in the 90th minute continued the run of the National League (fifth tier) leaders who easily matched Burnley, a side 81 places higher up the English football ladder. Incredibly Lincoln are not the only minor league side to enter Sunday's draw with National League rivals Sutton United hosting Arsenal on Monday.
