This is what people mean when they talk about the ‘magic of the cup’.

League One Shrewsbury Town trailed twice against Championship side Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup fourth round, and were 2-1 down heading into the final five minutes.

But Shaun Whalley equalised, turning home after Jean Louis Akpa-Akpro had his penalty saved, before Jack Grimmer struck a dramatic winner in the SEVENTH minute of stoppage time.

They’ll hope for a big draw in the fifth round, and who can say they don’t deserve one.
