The former Tottenham starlet joined the Clarets last week from Sporting CP in a surprise move.

And he quickly added to his reputation as he came off the bench in the second-half to hit the winner and dump their Premier League opponents out of the Cup.

Edwards was able to convert after a clever pass from former Manchester United midfielder Hannibal Mejbri.

The result was another blow for Southampton, which couldn't find a way past Burnley goalkeeper Vaclav Hladky on the day.
