Watch: The Class of 92 lost their minds as Salford City scored a worldie to pull off FA Cup shock

Brilliant scenes

This is what football is all about.

We haven’t seen Gary Neville, Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes celebrate like this in a long time. The three former Manchester United stars, along with Ryan Giggs and Phil Neville, have ownership stakes in the non-league side who pulled off a massive FA Cup shock this evening.

Salford City, part-timers who play in the Northern Premier League Premier Division, overcame League Two side Notts County, who sit 59 places above them in the league pyramid, 2-0 at Moor Lane.

Richie Allen got the Manchester side’s second of the night, a stunning solo goal in front live BBC cameras.

The goal sent Neville, Butt and Scholes into raptures.

It’s hard not to be happy for all Salford fans following such an upset. Apart from this guy.
