WATCH: Sutton United fans’ reaction to drawing Arsenal is what the FA Cup is all about

Magic's in the air

David beat Goliath, it’s crazy how many people forget that when they use that analogy.

There are 16 teams left in the FA Cup and two of them are non-league outfits.

While Lincoln City will be playing Burnley away, Sutton United will welcome Arsenal to Gander Green Lane – their home ground that has roughly that has a capacity of just over 5,000, but it will undoubtedly be a sell-out.

This will mark the first time Sutton United will play in the FA Cup fifth round and a tie against Premier League giants Arsenal is sure to be the biggest game in their history, a fixture that will bank them a serious amount of revenue for a club of their stature.

The supporters know this and their reaction to the draw shows exactly how much this means to the Sutton United family.

Try and claim the magic of the cup doesn’t exist after watching this.
