The criminal already accumulates more than 2 million views on Twitter .
The FA Cup is the oldest tournament in the world, incorporating 729 English football teams in its 2021-2022 edition, with teams from the lower divisions looking to surprise.
It was precisely in the Fourth Round of classification which registered one of the most unusual criminal in 2021.
The match between Weymouth and Yeovil Town finished 1 to 1 in regular time and overtime, for which the qualifier was defined by penalties.
Weymouth had already missed three of their four penalties despite being home, while Yeovil Town had two scored. At that moment, the visitors’ forward Tom Knowles comes into play, who was able to secure his team’s pass by scoring from 12 steps.
