Burnley 3-1 West Brom
Burnley eased their way into the 5th round of the FA Cup, and a tie against either Cardiff or Arsenal, after quite handily disposing West Brom. Wade Elliott opened the scoring on the stroke of half-time with a superb volley, and Steven Thompson doubled the lead in the 52nd minute. West Brom battled back and got a goal from Zuiverloon on the hour, but that man Thompson put it beyond doubt with his second late in the proceedings.
In other news, Arsenal finally got their man after the FA approved the transfer of Andrei Arshavin from Zenit. It is believed the Gunners shelled out close to 17 million pounds for the Russian.
