Wayne Rooney is left in tears and fans flood the pitch as Macclesfield FC pull off historic giant-killing to knock FA Cup holders out - before paying tribute to young star who died in a tragic car accident just weeks ago

Macclesfield created the biggest shock in the history of the FA Cup as the non-league side overcame holders Crystal Palace in a stunning third round upset.

Palace had enjoyed their greatest day in the club's history in their last appearance in the competition when they beat Man City at Wembley in May to earn their first major trophy.

The Eagles were on the wrong end of FA Cup magic this time around with Oliver Glasner's side - who lie 13th in the Premier League - coming unstuck against a side 117 places below them in English football's pyramid.
