Colchester United's heroic youngsters overcame Premiership giants Chelsea in the FA Youth Cup.
Joe Dunne's young charges recorded a major scalp thanks to a 2-1 victory at Layer Road.
Close to 700 people turned out to cheer on the young guns last night and they had reason to celebrate when Jamie Guy smashed the winner on 69 minutes.
That was enough to book the U's a place in the fourth round of the famous competition, where they will face either Hull City or Cardiff.
Colchester went ahead after just three minutes through Richard Harris. But Chelsea struck back just seven minutes later.
Dunne's youngsters, however, were not about to roll over and battled back to net their dramatic winner.
