"The League One side went behind to the Premier League outfit in the first half after Josh Laurent opened the scoring for the Clarets. However, Mansfield were level just five minutes after the break when Rhys Oates converted from Kyle Knoyle's pass. Then skipper Louis Reed, who scored twice in the last round against Championship Sheffield United, scored a free-kick in the 80th minute to see Mansfield pull off another upset in the cup."
"Elsewhere, after coming back from 3-0 down to beat Leicester City 4-3 in the league in midweek, Southampton got one over the Foxes again with a 2-1 win after extra time at St. Mary's Stadium. Oliver Skipp cancelled out Cyle Larin's first-half penalty, but James Bree headed in the winner in the 109th minute for the Saints. Norwich City continued their impressive form under Phillipe Clement with a 3-1 win at home over West Brom."
"Mansfield have eliminated a top-flight side from the FA Cup for the first time since February 1969 (3-0 versus West Ham in the fifth round), having lost nine successive matches against such opposition in the competition before Saturday. Andy King, meanwhile, became just the second manager to lose each of his first four games in charge of Leicester, after Ian MacFarlane in April 1978."
