Lincoln City prepare for biggest FA Cup match in over 115 years

The last non-league side to have ever reached the quarter-finals was Queens Park Rangers in 1914, but in those days there were only two professional divisions in England.

In the Premier League this season, only Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have taken more points from home games than Burnley, but Raggett said his team felt they could defy the odds.

“I think we were getting on top a little bit and he’s tried to upset the flow”.

“Belief? Massively, we didn’t come to draw, we came to win the game. We’ve proven that we can”. What a day for non-league. “It’s unheard of, it’s insane”.

A 90th minute victor from Sean Raggett was eventually awarded by the Goal Decision System after clearly crossing the line, and The Imps held on for over five minutes of stoppage time to reach the last 8.

Huddersfield thought they had taken the lead in the 27th minute after Philip Billing forced the ball over the line following a corner, but the goal was disallowed for offside.

“The fact is it’s the first time since I’ve been at the club when we were really big favourites”.

Tom Heaton’s goal-kick was headed back to Nathan Arnold and the winger, who scored the dramatic late victor against Ipswich Town in the third round, cut inside James Tarkowski on the right of the penalty area and squared to Jack Muldoon.

Lincoln manager Danny Cowley – whose brother Nicky is his assistant – said the odds had worked in their favour.

Lincoln were indebted to Farman in the 80th minute as Gray scuffed another shot, the ball moved to Ashley Westwood and his shot was blocked by the goalkeeper.

Lincoln have impressed on their route so far, knocking out Ipswich, Brighton and now Burnley in the process.

With the Imps just one game away from their maiden appearance at Wembley, focus will now turn to the quarter-final draw, which will be made tomorrow afternoon.

They then left Turf Moor stunned in the dying moments as Luke Waterfall’s header to the back post was met by Raggett, who nodded in from close range.

“We used to play Championship Manager”, Danny told the Daily Mail.

“The fans were fantastic, all through the game”. They gave us a boost.

Sean Raggett’s 89th minute goal was enough to seal a 1-0 win after a nervy finish.
