Epic scenes as part-timers Marine score 120th-minute winner

Northern Premier League side Marine will play Jose Mourinho's Premier League leaders Tottenham in the third round of the FA Cup.

Marine are just the second eighth-tier side to reach the third round.

National League North side Chorley will host Wayne Rooney's Derby, while holders Arsenal host Newcastle and Liverpool head to Aston Villa in a repeat of the 2015 semi-final.

The ties will be played over the weekend of 8-11 January, 2021.

Eighth-tier Marine draw Premier League leaders Tottenham

"It's an unbelievable draw," Marine boss Neil Young told BBC One.

"We will plan as best we can. Usually with Jose's teams, he puts pretty strong sides out. We have won seven games to get here and this is a great reward."

Stockport, of the National League, have been handed home advantage in their tie against West Ham while Manchester United are at home to Championship side Watford.

    Marine vs Spurs is quite possibly one of the best ties ever drawn in the competition. That TV money will likely keep Marine going for years.

    VAR has just confirmed Watford have conceded a penalty

    Plenty of good ties there. No doubt BBC will still pick Man Utd vs Watford as a main match.

      And for Man City, an home tie against easy opponents. I guess this is to be expected now, nothing new here.

    I so hope it gets picked for the TV so they can get as much money as possible
    Also hope fans can be in the ground for them.
    This is why I love the FA cup so much these sort of games and runs from non league and lower league teams

    Can the BBCMU stop going on about all things Man Utd?. Apparently Rooney is playing Chorley on his own.

      Rooney doesn’t play for Utd anymore.

    Fantastic draw for Marine Minnows! Good luck lads, and a useful cash bonanza to boot!

  • Comment posted by GreenAndBlue, at 20:00 30 Nov 2020

    Why is it 'Wayne Rooney's Derby'? Did BBC Sport ever call them 'Phillip Cocu's Derby' prior to Rooney joining them or taking over as caretaker? No. Is BBC Sport being run by a load of Shoot Magazine tabloid journos these days?
