REPORT: Curzon Ashton U18s 0 Burnley U18s 5

Lewis Richardson led the charge as the Clarets eased into round four of the FA Youth Cup.

Richardson – making a rare appearance in the Under-18s – was too hot to handle as Tony Philliskirk’s side booked a trip to Mansfield Town in the last 32 of the competition.

The England Youth international was tripped to earn an early penalty which was converted by Rhys Fenlon before slotting home the second himself.

And he then claimed the final touch to a Chris Conn-Clarke as the Clarets rattled in three second-half goals to complete their biggest win of the season.
