BURNLEY, England (Reuters) - Lincoln City's Danny Cowley triumphed where more celebrated managers have failed this season by masterminding his minor league battlers to a stunning 1-0 FA Cup victory at Burnley's Turf Moor fortress on Saturday.

Sean Raggett's header in the 90th minute sealed Lincoln's victory against a side 81 places higher up the English ladder as they became the first minor league club to reach the quarter-finals of the competition since Queen's Park Rangers in 1914.
