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.
