Maidstone have reached the FA Cup fourth round for the first time in their history after a stunning upset win against Stevenage.

Sam Corne’s penalty in first-half stoppage time saw off their League 1 opponents at a rocking Gallagher Stadium – earning £105,000 in prize money.

Maidstone, the lowest-ranked side left in the competition, weathered heavy second-half pressure against a team 69 places above them in the pyramid but were brilliant to a man.

The first half was played at a blistering pace, with neither side getting time to settle on the ball. It was everything you’d want from a cup tie in terms of commitment and desire, with Maidstone competing magnificently against their League 1 opponents.
