LONDON: 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.

Pep Guardiola’s side 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.

Owned by Manchester United legends Gary Neville and David Beckham, Salford were playing in the fourth round for the first time in their history.

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.

Burnley took the lead through Josh Laurent’s 21st-minute goal, but Nigel Clough’s team, who sit in mid-table in League One, staged an impressive fightback in the second half.

Rhys Oates headed in the equaliser in the 53rd minute and Louis Reed capped a fine individual performance with a brilliant free-kick 10 minutes from full-time.

Meanwhile, ten-man West Ham United edged through as Crysencio Summerville clinched a 1-0 win at third-tier Burton.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side were taken to extra-time before Summerville ended the underdogs’ stubborn resistence with his sixth goal in his last seven games in all competitions.

West Ham’s Freddie Potts was sent off soon after Summerville’s strike in the first period of extra-time, but the Premier League strugglers held on to survive a gruelling fourth round clash.

With their team three points from safety in the Premier League, the Hammers’ erratic display will hardly ease fans’ fears about their chances of avoiding relegation.

On Friday, Chelsea eased past Hull City with a 4-0 success while Hollywood-backed Wrexham kept up their hopes of a fairytale run in the FA Cup with a 1-0 victory over Ipswich Town.

Chelsea were far too strong for Championship side Hull as they strolled to victory at the MKM Stadium thanks to Pedro Neto’s hat-trick.

Estevao scored the other goal for the Londoners as his side-footed strike went into the net from Delap’s pass.

Wrexham defeated Premier League Nottingham Forest in the last round and dispatched fellow second-tier Championship side Ipswich to reach the fifth round for the first time since they were quarter-finalists in the 1996-97 season.

Josh Windass scored the only goal of the game in the first half as Ipswich battled to create clear-cut chances and Wrexham proved more clinical.
