FA Cup: Guehi scores first Man City goal as Mansfield stun Burnley

Marc Guehi scored his first goal for Manchester City to seal a 2-0 win over minnows Salford in the FA Cup fourth round, while Burnley suffered an embarrassing exit against Mansfield on Saturday.

City took an early lead through Alfie Dorrington’s own goal, but they made hard work of seeing off their fourth-tier opponents at the Etihad Stadium.

There were only nine minutes left when City defender Guehi delivered the decisive blow with his maiden goal since signing from Crystal Palace in January.

Guehi ended Salford’s resistence in the 81st minute, tapping in after Matt Young palmed Rayan Cherki’s pass into his path.

At Turf Moor, Mansfield’s 2-1 win over Premier League strugglers Burnley took them into the fifth round for the first time since 1975.

Burnley went into the game bolstered by their first Premier League win since October over Crystal Palace in midweek, but boss Scott Parker made nine changes and the gamble backfired.

Ten-man West Ham edged through as Crysencio Summerville clinched a 1-0 win at third-tier Burton.

Later on Saturday, Liverpool meet Brighton at Anfield and Aston Villa face Newcastle.
