Norwich 0-1 Luton

Posted by Undercover 999 on Saturday, 26 January 2013

Scott Rendell's late strike stunned Premier League Norwich City as Luton Town became the first non-league team to knock a top-flight side out of the FA Cup since 1989. The substitute's near-post effort with 10 minutes remaining capped off a monumental display from the Hatters. Norwich missed decent chances through Grant Holt and Leon Barnett. But Blue Square Bet Premier side Luton held firm after Rendell's goal to dramatically reach the fifth round. Non-league minnows beating a t-tier side is a feat unheard of since 1989, when Sutton United of the Conference toppled Coventry City 2-1 in the third round. Luton, unlike Sutton, are steeped in Football League history, but this result will be considered one of the great upsets purely for the fact that it was played out on the Premier League club's own turf.
