Celebrations for Newport after scoring against Middlesbrough in FA Cup
Newport staged an FA Cup silver cup against Manchester City, defeating Middlesbrough 2-0 on the restart of their fourth round.
Robbie Willmott and Padraig Amond were the heroes of the Sky Bet League. Minnows County – the lowest-ranked club in the last 16 games – has reduced the 57-seater gap between them and the Middlesbrough club in the league standings.
It was a really miserable night for Tony Pulis, who grew up a few miles from Rodney Parade.
But Boro's boss can not complain, his team being second in all departments by joining a recent list of victims of the Rodney Parade Cup including Leeds and Leicester.
Pep Guardiola's team will face much tougher opponents on Feb. 16, but even the Premier League champions will not accept the narrow containment of this pitch and the fervent atmosphere that accompanies it.
County's move to the fifth round for the second time only – the previous one was in the 1948/49 season – was confirmed by two goals in the second half.
Winger Willmott, after tying Boro in the first half, opened the scoring two minutes after the break, scoring 30 yards in the center before shooting a fine shot.
The scorer fired the provider midway through the half with a great move straight out of the training ground.
Amond moved away from his marker to reach the corner of the post near Willmott. This intelligent movement was badociated with a fierce arrival inside the pole near Dimi Konstantopoulos.
Pulis quickly turned to his bench to make three replacements, but Boro suffered after County sealed the affair with Amond, who had scored the winner of the previous round against Leicester, again showing his talent for the Guardian.
The boss of the exiles, Michael Flynn, think Newport will earn £ 1m through this World Cup, with more money on television against City to come.
But, for now, everything is a matter of fame and the county's fans were wildly celebrating one of the club's most memorable nights at the final whistle.
