BURGHFIELD FC booked their place in the last 16 of the FA Sunday Cup with victory over Banstead Rovers.
The hosts stormed into the lead with 15 minutes on the clock when Elliot Telford fired them in front.
Burghfield then had appeals for a penalty turned down when Telford fell to ground in the box.
Banstead hit back and ensured the teams would go into the break level with their 36th minute equaliser.
Just 12 minutes after the restart, Burghfield restored their lead when Josh Howell’s free-kick delivery led to an own goal.
With 15 minutes left to play, Burghfield were awarded a penalty and Howell ensured his team would have a two-goal advantage after he powered his spot kick past the keeper.
Banstead were reduced to 10 men with a red card in the dying embers of the match and Brughfield put the icing on the cake with a fourth goal through Rhys Iremonger to put their name into the draw for the next round.
Burghfield manager Liam Gillis said: “What can we say about this group of players. To a man they set up and implemented a game plan to go out and beat a really strong Banstead team and put us amongst the 16 best in the country, I love this club.”
Burghfield have been given an away tie in the next round where they will make the trip to Highgate Albion on Sunday, February 13.
