It was the First Round Proper of the FA Cup this weekend and Saturday’s action has seen five upsets caused by teams against those in a higher league than themselves.
League Two side Crewe Alexandra beat League One Accrington Stanley 2-0, however the second half didn’t go ahead until 5:10pm after two officials ended up getting injured.
Heated debate between the two coaching staffs. #Accrington against #crewe will resume at 510. But there may only be one assistant referee. Utter chaos @BBCLancsSport #bbcfootball pic.twitter.com/N1CCrT1g19
