A great achievement for all the players, staff and the club, reaching the third round with two difficult draws.

Will they get a dream draw against a Premier League side?

Elliot Watt and George Harrison both scored, setting up a must-score penalty for Burton. Ryan Sweeney stepped up and scored putting all the pressure on Tamworth.

Haydn Hollis smashed the ball past Crocombe and sent the away end into pandemonium. Tamworth won the shoutout 4-3.

Ben Milnes converted Tamworth's first spot kick, then Mason Bennett levelled the shoutout. Alex Fletched restored the lead to 2-1 after two spot-kicks each.

The third round of penalties saw a double miss.

Ben Whitfield and Ben Crompton missed for their respective teams.

Up first was Burton Albion forward Danilo Orsi, the Brewers' top scorer.

The penalty was blasted to the right corner but Tamworth's keeper Jas Kingh was equal to it and denied Orsi sending the Tamworth fans behind the goal into celebrations.

The Lambs fought back and levelled the game, two minutes later with Ronan Maher scoring on his second game for Tamworth, instantly making himself a club hero.

Tamworth grew stronger and stronger as extra time went on but couldn't manage to score.

Penalty-kicks loomed.

Tamworth defended well for the full 90 minutes and kept it goalless. A new rule this season meant extra time for the two sides instead of a replay.

Burton got an early goal, just two minutes into the first half of extra time. Mason Bennett with the goal.

A local derby was drawn for Tamworth in the second round with Burton Albion as the hosts.

Another League One side was on the cards for the Lambs, but one which was struggling in their domestic campaign.

The Brewers are fighting relegation in League One.

After a nervy second half, the final whistle blew at The Lamb Ground and fifth-tier, Tamworth had caused a massive upset against 7th-placed League One side Huddersfield Town.

The second-round draw was eagerly anticipated by the whole town of Tamworth.

Tamworth were ready for the occasion.

A long floated throw-in by Tom Tonks caused danger and was flapped at by Huddersfield's goalkeeper.

Maxwell got a touch on the looping ball, but it ended up in the back of his net.

A goal just before half-time was just what they needed.

The game was scheduled for a Friday night, with BBC selected it for TV.

Raising more money for the club for long-term security.

The stadium was filled with the biggest attendance at The Lamb Ground since 2005/06 when they hosted Stoke City in the FA Cup.

This win in the fourth qualifying round sent Tamworth into the hat, for the first round proper for the first time in over a decade.

The draw for Tamworth was perfect, they took on League One side Huddersfield Town at home. A game which helped the club massively on the pitch.

Tamworth entered the competition in the fourth qualifying round. They were drawn against Robbie Savage's Macclesfield.

Tamworth won 4-2 in front of their home crowd. Thishunka scored a brace, and Creaney and McGlinchey were also on the scoresheet for the Lambs.

Bayern have the best defence in the league, with only seven goals conceded and kept five clean sheets in a row in the league 🧱

They are unbeaten in the league and clear by six points with sights set on a 34th Bundesliga title.

A win would be key for this Kompany’s Bayern πŸ”‘

Dortmund have won six out of six in the Bundesliga in front of the yellow wall and won both UCL games at home.

BVB will be without Emre Can due to suspension and still without Karim Adyemi. Sahin has turned to Serhou Guirassy for goals this season.

The Cherries goals come from all across their front line, led by Evanilson. The summer signing has three goals in his last four games.

Attacking full-back Milos Kerkez is a danger with great crossing ability with two assists this season.

Forest will look for more goals from top-scorer Chris Wood after he was benched last week, due to fatigue from international duty.
