The win at Carrow Road was the first time since 1989 that a top-flight club had been beaten by non-league opposition.

Buckle’s side secured successive 1-0 victories in the world’s oldest knock-out competition to earn a fifth round tie at home to Millwall.

A win in that fixture would make them the first non-league club to reach the quarter-finals since the war.
