Stevenage could only name six substitutes but two of them, Jamie Reid and Dean Campbell, scored the goals, in the 88th and 90th minutes, that enabled the League Two title chasers to pull off the shock of all the shocks in this remarkable FA Cup third round and come from behind to beat seven-times winners Aston Villa, 59 places above them in football’s pecking order.
Villa thought they had finally brought an end to their abysmal third-round record when with two minutes remaining, leading through Morgan Sanson’s first-half goal, Leander Dendoncker received a ball from his goalkeeper Robin Olsen on the edge of his own box.
