Burnley 2 Shrewsbury Town 1
John Deary sets the second half alight by restoring Burnley’s advantage.
Saturday was a case of mission accomplished for the Clarets in the FA Cup sponsored by Littlewoods Pools. But once again they failed to really ram home their advantage and were nearly dragged down the A49 for a replay Shrewsbury never really deserved. Two of the old stagers grabbed the headlines – Adrian Heath was virtually unstoppable and John Deary is enjoying his best ever run at the club, both scored and between them they provided most of the action on a dismal afternoon.
