Crawley FA Cup hero Nick Tsaroulla breaks down in tears in live TV interview as he celebrates scoring his first goal since car crash hell that kept him out of football for a YEAR

Emotions were running high after Crawley Town sensationally dumped Leeds out of the FA Cup, for none more so than Nick Tsaroulla who made a heart-warming breakthrough.

The 21-year-old shocked Marcelo Bielsa's side by opening the scoring after 50 minutes, spinning past Jamie Shackleton, bursting into the box and hitting a powerful shot low into the far corner.

Tsaroulla wheeled away in a euphoria, revealing the emotions of a testing journey. The winger's injuries from a 2017 car crash had halted his progression in Tottenham's academy, leading to his release after joining the club at 12-years-old.
