CBSN
Wrexham's shocking win over Arsenal doesn't make the cut, taking place eight years before the turn of the century
There's a reason the phrase "the magic of the FA Cup" gets as much usage as it does – the English competition likes to deliver an upset every now and again, making for an enjoyably long list of games when the underdog triumphed over the overwhelming favorites.The FA Cup offers somewhat rare occasions for top-tier sides to meet teams much further down the soccer pyramid, and the even rarer chance for those lower-league sides to get the better of their flashy opponents in a one-off. The most recent instance came in this season's fourth round when Championship bottom-dwellers Plymouth Argyle managed a surprise win over Premier League leader Liverpool and came out with a result that ranks amongst the most notable games in the FA Cup's recent history.
Let's take a look back at one shocking upset that included Wrexham before we rank the best modern-day upsets that came after the turn of the century:
