🎥 FA Cup upset as National League side score winner from throw-in
Tamworth F.C. won't forget this goal for a long time.
The National League side played in an FA Cup clash with League One's Huddersfield Town on Friday, and despite the challenge, the fifth-tier club eliminated their opponents in the first round.
The game-winner arrived when midfielder Tommy Tonks was sent to deliver a throw-in. He used his strength to pull off an inch-perfect long throw that hit off goalkeeper Chris Maxwell and into the net.
