They have reached the third round for the first time
Chorley FC have made FA Cup history after reaching the third round for the first time in their 137 year history after beating Peterborough, a club 89 places above them.
The sixth tier side sealed their entry into the third round – when Premier League clubs enter the fray – with a 2-1 victory over The Posh at London Road, and celebrated in style.

The Lancashire team were on cloud nine after the game, and celebrated their triumph with a belting rendition of Adele’s Someone Like You. I’m not sure why a heartbreak song was chosen for this joyous moment, but the emotion is palpable.
Sit back and enjoy.
