Burnley rarely break a sweat in 2-0 FA Cup fourth round win vs. Bristol City

In horrible conditions at a wet and windy Turf Moor, Burnley eased into the fifth round of the FA Cup with a comfortable 2-0 win against Championship strugglers Bristol City. Once Sam Vokes had put the Clarets ahead at the end of the first half, the result was never in doubt and a magnificent Steven Defour goal secured the victory, a 10th at home in all competitions this season.

Burnley were the beneficiaries of some hopeless defending at times but equally, they didn't have to stretch themselves despite manager Sean Dyche taking the opportunity to rest plenty of key players ahead of the visit of Premier League champions Leicester City on Tuesday.
