REPORT: Burnley 4 Peterborough 2

Jay Rodriguez bridged an eight-year gap to spearhead the Clarets’ march into the fourth round of the FA Cup.

A brilliant solo effort against Peterborough in February, 2012 lit up Turf Moor as Rodriguez earned the Clarets a Championship point towards the end of his first Burnley stay.

And he once more punished the Posh in a first FA Cup meeting between the sides with two goals in a comfortable win which booked Sean Dyche’s men a place in Monday night’s draw for the last 32.

Eric Pieters and Jeff Hendrick also got themselves on the scoresheet as the League One side were always kept at arm’s length – despite twice cutting back a three-goal deficit.
