Headlines: 6th Division Club Achieve Historic Upset
The scoreline will forever read: Macclesfield 2-1 Crystal Palace. The sixth-tier National League North side, placed 117 positions below their Premier League opposition, produced the biggest FA Cup upset of all time. The last time a non-league side knocked out the FA Cup holders was Palace themselves 117 years ago when, in the first round of the 1908-09 edition, they defeated Wolverhampton Wanderers. Macclesfield’s shock victory on Saturday was the first time in the competition’s 155-year history that a sixth-tier side had beaten a top-flight one.
