Steven Thompson scored twice as Burnley claimed its fourth Premier League scalp of the season on Tuesday with a 3-1 victory over West Bromwich Albion in their FA Cup fourth round replay. The Championship (second division) side had already beaten Arsenal, Chelsea and Fulham in the League Cup before falling to Tottenham Hotspur in the semifinals. Midfielder Wade Elliott put Burnley ahead just before halftime at Turf Moor, striking the ball from just outside the box into the top left corner, before Thompson stretched its lead seven minutes after the break. The Premier League's bottom side, who shared a 2-2 draw with Burnley at the first attempt, got itself back into the game in the 60th minute when Dutch defender Gianni Zuiverloon shot from the edge of the penalty area into the bottom left. Thompson put the game out of West Brom's reach with his second into the bottom left two minutes from time. Burnley will go on to face Arsenal or Championship side Cardiff City, whose replay was postponed due to bad weather. Lampard's red card rescinded The red card received by Frank Lampard in Chelsea's 2-0 defeat by Liverpool was rescinded on Tuesday after the Football Association upheld the England midfielder's appeal for wrongful dismissal. Lampard was ordered off for what referee Mike Riley saw as a dangerous challenge on Liverpool counterpart Xabi Alonso in Sunday's match at Anfield. Television replays showed that Lampard had taken the ball cleanly. If anything, Alonso's approach to the 50-50 challenge was more reckless with the Spaniard's boot going over the ball with studs showing before catching Lampard on the lower shin. The incident happened just before the hour mark and Liverpool went on to claim all three points with two goals from Fernando Torres in the closing minutes. The FA's decision will leave everyone at Chelsea deeply aggrieved given the damage that Sunday's defeat has done to the club's chances of winning the Premier League title. Chelsea is now five points adrift of leaders Manchester United, who has a game in hand, and manager Luiz Felipe Scolari has admitted it will be difficult to bridge the gap. Arshavin completes move Russia forward Andrei Arshavin completed his transfer to Arsenal from Zenit St. Petersburg on Tuesday, the English Premier League club said. The move had been awaiting confirmation from the Premier League after the clubs failed to announce an agreement before Monday's 1700 GMT transfer window deadline. “We are delighted to have signed Andrei Arshavin, he is a player I have admired for a long time,” manager Arsene Wenger told the club's website (www.arsenal.com). “He is a versatile player with great experience, who will add real quality to our squad.” British media reported he had agreed a three-and-a-half-year contract and had cost Arsenal around 15 million pounds ($21.35 million).
