MORGAN WHITTAKER’S STUNNING late goal helped Championship strugglers Plymouth pull off a major FA Cup upset with a 1-0 victory at Premier League Brentford.
Plymouth, bottom of the table in the second tier, went close in the 21st minute. Bali Mumba drove down the flank, combined with winger Callum Wright, who cut in and saw a shot from a tight angle parried away by Hakon Valdimarsson. Advertisement Brentford’s poor showing was eventually punished eight minutes from time when Whittaker, who was bright all game, produced a wonderful goal.
The natural order soon took over. Christopher Nkunku scored to make it 2-0 having earlier missed a penalty, and there were two goals also for Joao Felix in a rare start, but Morecambe departed knowing they had made Chelsea sweat.
