Vanarama National League side Sutton United pulled off defeating Championship side Leeds on Sunday in the FA Cup, and they now know the next opponents they’ll face in the last 16.
And it’s a cracking draw. Getting impatient? Ok, fine – they’ve drawn Premier League Arsenal at home.
Yes! Now THAT was a cup draw! So many beauties.

Plus obviously, that sort of unadulterated excitement that just can’t be held in is on display.
Sutton v Arsenal will be class. Huge for the amateurs that, and Sutton will be happy too.

Plus, a little bit of negativity thrown in for good measure.
Sutton away?

Damn, our reserves can't win that.
We're out. #afc #FACupdraw
Well, let’s see what you’ve got this time Sutton…
1989 - The last non-league team to win an FA Cup home game against top-flight opposition were Sutton United vs Coventry in 1989. Gunning.
