Tony Philliskirk hopes the Clarets’ run to the quarter-finals of the FA Youth Cup is a sign of things to come.
Burnley’s bid to reach the last four for the first time since 2012 ended with a 1-0 defeat at competition favourites Manchester City.
A second-half goal from Liam Delap was enough to take City through as they chase a place in the final for the fifth time in six years – with Blackburn Rovers or Arsenal standing in their way.
But Philliskirk praised his side’s bid to narrow the gap and add to their earlier wins over Curzon Ashton, Mansfield Town and West Bromwich Albion.
