“I’m so, so happy. The players deserve it, the manager deserves it and the supporters deserve it. I still can’t quite believe what has happened.

“I thought things couldn’t get any better after Sunday. To be playing Arsenal, at home, in the Fifth Round of the FA Cup, we are all going to have to pinch ourselves in the morning to check this is really happening.

“It’s the dream draw in many ways and if you could see the faces of our supporters, this is why the FA Cup is such a wonderful competition. This is why the FA Cup still matters. This has been a fantastic story already, one we will never forget, but it has just got even better.”

There were fitting rewards for all of the fourth round giantkillers as National League leaders Lincoln City, who knocked out Championship leaders Brighton on Saturday, travel to Premier League side Burnley. Oxford United, who thrashed Newcastle United, were drawn away to Middlesbrough. Millwall, who knocked out Watford, will take on Premier League champions Leicester City or Derby County.
