Scott Brown has hailed his Fleetwood Town side as 'absolutely unbelievable' as they suffered late FA Cup heartbreak at Burnley.
The Cod Army created history by reaching the fifth round for the first time ever and they took the English Championship leaders all the way before losing a goal in the 90th minute. The English League One side had been reduced to ten men before the half-time interval and defended admirably at Turf Moor but in the end just couldn't hold out.
Vincent Kompany and his high-flyers - who look certain for a return to the EPL come the end of the season - will now face Pep Guardiola and Manchester City. It will be a massive welcome home for the Clarets boss after his time as a player at the club. He played for City from 2008 to 2019 with the club legend ready for a return to the Etihad in the quarter-final stage. It's a glamour tie Celtic hero Brown would have loved to have landed but he couldn't be more proud of his troops as he heaped special praise on the noise from the travelling support who sang and danced their hearts out. The players went straight over to the away end with the fans' appreciation throughout handing his team that extra confidence.
