Leicester City avoided becoming the latest Premier League victims of second-tier Brentford as they came from behind to win 3-1 in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday.

The Championship Bees, who shocked four top-flight sides on their way to this season's League Cup semi-finals, were threatening to add the Foxes to their list of scalps when they led through Mads Bech Sorensen's early goal.

But Leicester started the second half on the front foot and equalised in the 46th minute after winning the ball upfield before Maddison found Cengiz Under in space for the Turkish winger to curl his effort past goalkeeper Luke Daniels.

Five minutes later, the visitors' took the lead with a penalty after Youri Tielemans was fouled. The Belgium midfielder got up to send Daniels the wrong way with a low shot into the bottom corner.

Leicester wrapped up the win in the 71st on the counter-attack when Daniels spilled a Harvey Barnes shot and midfielder Maddison was on hand to score his fourth goal in as many games in all competitions.

Sean Dyche said his Burnley side's "collective mentality" was the key to their 3-0 FA Cup win over Fulham.

Jay Rodriguez struck twice before turning provider for his side's third, controlling a loose ball with his shoulder into the path of Kevin Long, who was able to tap home to secure Burnley's place in the fifth round.

Having not scored since a 1-1 draw at Liverpool on July 11 last year, 31-year-old Rodriguez glanced home a header just after the half-hour mark to put his side ahead before converting from the penalty spot in the 71st minute.

Despite the conditions, with the snow only cleared from the pitch an hour before kick-off on Sunday, Burnley started strongly and appeared full of confidence and momentum after their shock win at Anfield in midweek.

Dyche said: "I thought the attitude towards the game and the performance was fantastic.

"As good an energy from a side as I've seen on a very tricky pitch, a very heavy pitch.

"Within the group, we've had a lot of injury problems this season but we've got fitter this season, and as it's come back together I think it continues to grow.

"The collective mentality I thought was key for us today, they were top drawer."

Fulham slipped to their third successive defeat and conceded three goals for the first time since a 3-2 home loss to Everton on November 22.

"[It was a] tough day, I didn't feel we deserved anything out of the game today, to be quite honest with you," Scott Parker said. "I thought we fell very short of the standards and what we're used to seeing."
