Burnley 2-1 Ipswich Town: Nathan Tella's double sends Clarets into FA Cup fifth round

Nathan Tella scored at either end of the game as Championship leaders Burnley beat League One high-fliers Ipswich Town in their FA Cup fourth round replay.

The game got off to a tremendous start with Tella putting Burnley ahead after just 46 seconds.

George Hirst levelled from close range just over a minute later, however.

Tella won it for the Clarets in the third minute of stoppage time with a volley after a long ball forward.

Having impressed in a 3-0 win over Norwich City on Saturday, Burnley boss Vincent Kompany made seven changes, while Ipswich made nine changes from the side that drew 1-1 at Cambridge United.

It seemed that those changes made both sides shaky at the start - Vitinho released Ian Maatsen down the wing and found Lyle Foster before the ball fell to Tella who blasted it into the roof of the net for the opener.

But the reaction was instant - a wonderful ball from Sone Aluko released Kayden Jackson, who squared the ball to Hirst for a simple finish as Town levelled.

The game quietened down after the frenetic start with Ipswich seeing the better of a sloppy Burnley side as Hirst, Marcus Harness and Cameron Humphreys all had half-chances.

Tella forced Vaclav Hladky to tip over an effort five minutes after the break while Jackson forced a good save from Bailey Peacock-Farrell 15 minutes later following a swift Ipswich counter-attack.

With 20 minutes to go, both sides made triple changes to try and up the tempo - Luke Woolfenden almost put past his own goalkeeper eight minutes later as one of Burnley's substitutes Josh Brownhill put a ball across the face of the Ipswich goal.

Soon after, Tella was denied a penalty after going down under a Janoi Donacien challenge as Burnley began to create more chances.

The Clarets turned the screw as seven minutes of stoppage time began - Maatsen had a shot blocked in the first minute and from the resulting corner, Johann Berg Gudmundsson forced a save from Hladky before Tella finally won it.

Connor Roberts's long ball forward evaded Ashley Barnes as he and Woolfenden went up for the ball, but Tella ran in behind to fire in the winner.

Burnley manager Vincent Kompany told BBC Radio Lancashire:

"I'm happy with the second half, first half was to be expected - a little bit slower.

"But second half we saw some good things and I'd like to maybe score a few more in the second half, but in the end I'm really happy with the result.

"I have a lot of respect for Ipswich as a squad, it's a team that play some good football and have good intensity about them, and I knew it wasn't going to be an easy game.

"We've seen players that were ready to rise to the challenge, and in the end in the second half we edged it in a deserved direction and we couldn't have done it without the squad."

Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna told BBC Radio Suffolk:

"We were going to go out of the FA Cup at some time.

"The way to go out is having left absolutely everything you can on the pitch and representing yourself well against a club from the higher reaches of the pyramid than you, and we managed to do that tonight.

"It's better to concede in the 94th minute than the 120th in terms of what we have coming up.

"We threw everything at it, especially in the first half. Second half we had a couple of moments, but it becomes more difficult when they're bringing on the calibre of players across the pitch that they were, but we fought to the last minute, but it wasn't meant to be."
