Port Vale Vale's Rob Taylor netted two goals in Saturday's FA Cup clash at Burnley but it wasn't enough as the Valiants crashed out of the competition losing 4-2.
Vale were up against it in the first five minutes when lacklustre defending saw Burnley take the lead through Clarke Carlisle.
Taylor equalised for the Valiants but a Burnley free kick beat the wall and goalkeeper Stuart Tomlinson to give the Clarets the half time lead.
Former Manchester United youngster Chris Eagles netted shortly after the break on the break after a Vale corner and also scooped the man of the match award.
A penalty from Graham Alexander sealed Vale's fate, but Rob Taylor notched a late consolation effort to give Vale fans something to cheer about.
The game was the first for new Vale boss Jim Gannon and he handed youngster Sam Morsy a crack of the whip in the second half.
