FA Cup reaction: Stockport County 5 - 3 Bolton Wanderers

-

 Non-league Stockport County beat League One Bolton Wanderers in a thrilling FA Cup first-round replay.

The chaotic match saw pitch invasions, a lost shirt and a missing corner flag. 

Stockport boss Dave Challinor told the media: "Unbelievable game, this competition has provided things like that in the past but you'll go a long way to match something like that."

Bolton boss Ian Evatt was critical of his side's performance: "They wanted it more, played with a better tempo and credit to them, they were fantastic. We were very poor."

"This is what can happen in the FA Cup, if you are not how it should be at full tilt for a war, you will get beaten and that is what happened."

One Bolton fan told us: We've had plenty low moments over the last decade but that one is definitely up there. We had a great chance of progressing and only being a game away from potentially facing a United, a City or Liverpool. We blew it."

Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May .

After an initial header rattled off both posts, the Brazilian reacted quickly to slot the ball in from eight yards out. Alejandro Garnacho contributed his fifth goal of the season , and captain Bruno Fernandes had a bit of luck with his free-kick, which deflected off Leicester’s James Justin and into the net. Defensively, United weren’t flawless. Some familiar issues allowed Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady to pull goals back for Leicester before the break. Coady’s finish, a firs
