This is what football is all about.
We haven’t seen Gary Neville, Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes celebrate like this in a long time. The three former Manchester United stars, along with Ryan Giggs and Phil Neville, have ownership stakes in the non-league side who pulled off a massive FA Cup shock this evening.
Salford City, part-timers who play in the Northern Premier League Premier Division, overcame League Two side Notts County, who sit 59 places above them in the league pyramid, 2-0 at Moor Lane.
Richie Allen got the Manchester side’s second of the night, a stunning solo goal in front live BBC cameras.

The goal sent Neville, Butt and Scholes into raptures.
Oh my god !! @SalfordCityFC hang on!!

It’s hard not to be happy for all Salford fans following such an upset. Apart from this guy.
