Clough hails 'staggering 'cup win

Clough's side are now just two games from Wembley
Burton Albion boss Nigel Clough hailed his side's character after seeing them book an FA Trophy quarter-final spot with a gritty 1-0 replay win at Histon.
Daryl Clare's fine run and shot gave Burton the lead after eight minutes and Clough's side then had to withstand long spells of home pressure.

Clough told BBC Radio Derby: "It was a staggering effort. It was a long 82 minutes after we got the goal."

The Brewers now host Ebbsfleet in the last eight on Saturday, 23 February.

Clough added: "It was a remarkable performance - an amazing effort on a very heavy pitch.

"Our goal took the momentum away from them for a while. And we had one or two chances ourselves and could have done with that second goal."
