Vincent Kompany compares his Burnley side to Man City after avoiding FA Cup upset

Vincent Kompany spoke about Manchester City's FA Cup scare in 2011 after his Burnley side drew 0-0 with Ipswich Town in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday.

The Championship leaders were unable to find a way past their third-tier opponents, which means the Clarets will welcome Kieran McKenna's side to Turf Moor for a replay. The draw with Ipswich led Kompany to discuss playing in the FA Cup during his time with City - with the Belgian expressing how special the competition is.

In 2011, the Blues clashed with then third-tier side Notts County. Kompany started on the bench in the cup tie, but the likes of Yaya Toure and Patrick Viera were all named in the starting XI. City needed a late Eden Dzeko goal to force a 1-1 draw and a replay - with the Premier League side coming out 6-0 winners the second time round.
