Chorley Celebrate Stunning FA Cup Victory Over Derby With Classic Rendition Of Adele’s ‘Someone Like You’

Chorley have just pulled off one of the biggest, unprecedented upsets in the history of the FA Cup. Heavens!!!

OK, let’s forget for a moment all the fuss about teams fielding academy sides for this round of the competition’s fixtures due to Covid.

Placed apart as many as six tiers between in the English football pyramid, Connor Hall and Mike Calveley scored the goals to ensure a 2-0 victory sent Wayne Rooney’s team packing.

Doesn’t matter whether The Rams couldn’t field a proper team. No one f**cking cares now. Thing is tiny National League North side Chorley come Monday, are in the hat for the last sixteen of the FA Cup!

The non-leaguers couldn’t contain their excitement and burst out chanting Adele’s ‘Someone Like You’ back in their dressing room.

The video uploaded just about an hour ago on their Twitter handle have had over 1.2 million views!

Only yesterday, the club’s groundsman Ben Kay stayed up overnight to make sure their small Victory Park ground was fit to host their Championship visitors. And now, this.

Well then, results such like this is what the FA Cup is all about. The magic of the cup, they call it.

So Chorley can now dream of bringing the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United or Liverpool to their patch in the fourth round. That reads really crazy, doesn’t it?!!

I’m not sure how far they get but you know they will relish every single moment of their stay in the tournament this season.
