London  - Championship side Burnley progressed to the fifth round of the FA Cup, as they beat West Bromwich Albion of the Premier League 3-1 on Tuesday.

Wade Elliott gave them the lead just before half-time, and Steve Thompson added a second goal just after the break.

Gianni Zuiverloon pulled one back on the hour, but Burnley responded positively and, with three minutes remaining, Thompson added his second.

Burnley have already had a remarkable giant-killing run this season, eliminating Fulham, Chelsea and Arsenal from the League Cup - before giving Tottenham Hotspur an almighty scare. And they continued that form on Tuesday.

Robbie Blake, the tormentor of Spurs, was again impressive, putting a first-half free-kick just over.

Brian Jensen, Burnley's huge Danish goalkeeper, made an excellent save from Roman Bednar five minutes before the break.

West Brom seemed dominant at that stage, but on the stroke of half-time a half-cleared ball fell for Elliott at the edge of the box, and he lashed a superb volley past Scott Carson.

Seven minutes into the second half, Burnley doubled their lead. Christian Kalvenes' cross was superb, and, although Martin Paterson's header hit the back of Ryan Donk, Thompson swept in the rebound.

That was perhaps unrepresentative of the balance of play, and West Brom pulled one back eight minutes later.

Full-back Zuiverloon, pushed into midfield as West Brom chased the game, calmly stroked in his first for the club.

But Burnley dug in and, as West Brom committed men forward, looked increasingly dangerous on the break.

The decisive third came on 87 minutes, with Blake cutting the ball back for Thompson.

Burnley will be away to either Arsenal or Cardiff in the next round. dpa
