Burnley F.C. 0–1 Lincoln City F.C. (2017)
Football match
Burnley vs Lincoln City was an FA Cup fifth round tie, played on 18 February 2017 at Turf Moor, Burnley between Premier League side Burnley and National League side Lincoln City, who won the game 1–0. This was the first time a top division side lost to a non-League side since Norwich City's 1–0 loss to Luton Town in 2013 (for whom Burnley striker Andre Gray was playing at the time, meaning he beat a Premier League team with a non-League side, and lost to a non-League side with a Premier League team).[1] This was also the first time in 103 years that a non-League side reached the last 8 stage of the FA Cup (now the Quarter Finals or sixth round, then the fourth round), since Queens Park Rangers of the Southern Football League in 1914, and the first outright since the non-League became part of the English football league system instead of running parallel to the English Football League.[2][3][4] Lincoln City would go on to play Premier League side, and eventual FA Cup champions, Arsenal away at the Emirates Stadium in the quarter-finals,[5] losing 5–0.[6]
