In recent years, Crawley Town have played and beaten Premier League opposition, but Tuesday night’s win against Fulham was special – mainly because unlike the Leeds United game in the FA Cup, the fans were there to witness it and add to the occasion.
Goals from Tom Nichols and Liverpool loanee James Balagizi saw the Reds through to the third round of the Carabao Cup.
Those goals and the scenes of the fans on the pitch at the end will go down in the history of the club.
Photographer Cory Pickford and Getty Images were at the game to capture the action, the goal celebrations and the crowd.
