The Clarets’ superb FA Youth Cup run ended at the quarter-final stage as Manchester City avoided an upset to keep alive their hopes of an elusive win in the competition.
Despite reaching the final four times in the last five years, City haven’t won the trophy since current Clarets’ captain Ben Mee lifted the silverware in 2008.
Mee was at the Etihad Academy Stadium – alongside Burnley team-mate Ashley Westwood and first-team staff members – to see if the wait would go on as Tony Philliskirk’s side looked to spring a surprise and take the Clarets to the last four for the first time since 2012.
