🚨 FA Cup shock: Bottom of League One knock out Premier League club | OneFootball

In the English League One, things are not going well at all for Port Vale. Firmly at the bottom of the league table, it is very likely that the Valiants will be relegated to League Two.

However, in the midst of this disastrous season, a small cup miracle occurred today. In front of their home crowd, the underdog managed to knock AFC Sunderland out of the competition.

The eleventh-placed team in the Premier League, which includes players like Granit Xhaka, stood in disbelief after the final whistle in Stoke-on-Trent.

Port Vale was probably just as stunned, but of course in the most positive way. It is the club's first entry into the cup quarter-finals in 72 years. Could this perhaps give them a boost in the final sprint to avoid relegation?
