KETTERING Town ignored the 78 places gap to down local rivals Northampton Town with a stunning performance at Sixfields.

On a weekend of upsets, the Poppies arguably pulled off the biggest of them all and created history to claim their biggest win in history.

They also added two more vital goals as they pull away in their FA Cup scoring record, now totalling 922 - nine clear of Tottenham Hotspur.

A 28th-minute Connor Johnson own goal put the Cobblers in front before local boy Luca Miller sent the game to extra time.

And it was notorious striker Nile Ranger who stole the plaudits, capping a fine individual display with the winning goal in the fourth minute of the extra period.

Beaming boss Richard Lavery said: "I couldn't say this before the game but I knew we'ld win, I just knew it and we've done it I don't tell lies.

"One 'wow', word, I'm about to have a heart attack!"
