Woooo - HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Go you Pies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wigan 0 - 2 Notts County

Notts County stunned Wigan with two late goals in their fourth-round replay to set up a clash with Fulham in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

League Two County, the lowest-ranked side remaining in the competition this season, eventually took the lead via a powerful header from Stephen Hunt.

Gary Caldwell then turned a Ben Davies cross into his own net only three minutes later to silence the crowd.

Wigan will rue a host of saves from County goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.

The hosts, who came back to draw the first game 2-2, were on top for long periods but failed to find a way past the inspired keeper who turned in a performance reminiscent of his father Peter.

I really thought Notts had blown it when they gave up a late lead at home to force the replay. To go in an beat a Premiere League team on their home ground is simply fantastic.

Good going lads!!
