Tony Philliskirk hailed a ‘fantastic achievement’ as the Clarets booked their last in the last 16 of the FA Youth Cup.
A 3-0 win at Mansfield Town took Burnley into round five for the first time in five years and only the second time since their epic run to the semi-finals in 2012.
And Philliskirk was full of praise for his young side who scored three times in an early eight-minute burst to set up a home tie against Premier League Two second-tier outfit West Bromwich Albion.
“There’s a really good spirit about them and we’re now into the last 16, which is a good achievement,” said the Under-18s’ boss.
