In arguably the shock of the third round of the FA Cup, League two side Stevenage have knocked out Aston Villa in dramatic fashion.
When the draw for the third round was made, not many people expected an potential upset on the cards when this tie was announced.
WHile Aston Villa may not be having their best season, they have improved since the appointment of Unai Emery, who is known for a cup run across his career.
After naming a strong side, it looked like that was once again on the Spaniards agenda, with Aston Villa taking the lead through Morgan Sanson in the 38th minute, who finished off a brilliant passing move to put them ahead.
Stevenage however, who are challenging for promotion to League two, had different ideas.

Stevenage done well to keep the game at 1-0 and were rewarded a lifeline in the 88th minute, with Jamie Reid slotting it in the bottom corner to spark mad celebrations.
