Cup Magic! Sixth Tier Macclesfield Stun Holders Crystal Palace

FA Cup holders Crystal Palace were ousted by unfancied sixth-tier Macclesfield on Sunday in the third round encounter between the sides at The Leasing.com Stadium.

Strikes from Paul Dawson and Isaac Buckley-Ricketts helped Macclesfield post a 2-1 win over Palace, who netted their consolation through Yeremi Pino.

Dawson put the Silkmen ahead two minutes before the referee could blow his whistle for half-time as the hosts held a slender lead heading into the break.
