Tearful Maidstone boss George Elokobi hails his 'exceptional' players after sixth-tier side caused huge FA Cup upset away at Ipswich

Maidstone United manager George Elokobi has opened up on his side's 'historic' win over Championship high-flyers Ipswich.

Lamar Reynolds and Sam Corne scored the historic goals for the National League South team but there were heroes all over the place for Maidstone.

Not least goalkeeper Lucas Covolan, who produced a series of incredible saves as Ipswich piled on the pressure in the late stages of the tie and through a nail-biting eight minutes of stoppage time to secure one of the great FA Cup upsets of all time.

Maidstone made their way past opposition from League Two and League One to reach this stage but Ipswich, flying high in the Championship with sights set on a Premier League return, had presented an altogether different test.
