FA Cup 3ος γύρος με εκπλήξεις όπως πάντα!
Με κάποιες ομάδες να κατεβαίνουν αποδυναμωμένες λόγω κρουσμάτων Covid-19, με αναβολές και ως είθισται με εκπλήξεις, ξεκίνησε ο 3ος γύρος, του αρχαιότερου θεσμού στον κόσμο, το Football Association Cup!
Ψες νίκες για Liverpool και Wolves, σήμερα απρόσμενη έξοδος από τις WBA, Blackburn και Derby (έπαιξε όπως και η Villa, με αρκετούς μικρούς)
Χαρακτηριστική η πρόκριση της Chorley από την National League, αφού κατάφερε να καθαρίσει το χιόνι, στην συνέχεια καθάρισε τα κριάρια της Championship (Derby), περνώντας για πρώτη φορά στην επόμενη φάση και το διασκέδασαν δεόντως στα αποδυτήρια, σε ρυθμούς Adele!
Never in their 138-year history had Chorley FC reached the 3rd round of the #FACup Now, the 6th tier club sitting 125th in the league pyramid is off to the 4th round as the first team from this level to do so since Havant & Waterlooville in 2008 https://t.co/rGe9QOjYp2
