Burnley 2-1 QPR (aet)

Rodriguez acknowledges the crowd after scoring Burnley's winner
Jay Rodriguez fired Burnley into round four of the FA Cup with a goal in the last minute of extra time at Turf Moor.
Rodriguez nipped in and beat QPR keeper Radek Cerny with a low shot from the edge of the box after Damian Stewart had allowed a high ball to bounce.
Samuel Di Carmine fired QPR into the lead but Steven Thompson lashed in for Burnley after Cerny flapped at a cross.
QPR's Martin Rowlands hit the bar and shot over in normal time, while Chris Eagles fired over for the Clarets.
