Crystal Palace hero Danny Butterfield couldn't hide his disbelief after scoring a hat-trick to fire his side into the fifth round of the FA Cup.
Butterfield scored three goals in six second-half minutes in a fully deserved 3-1 win over the Premier League side.
And Butterfield was surprised at his goalscoring feat: "I can't believe that happened.
"I am normally a one in three season player so to score three in one night is amazing.
"If I had done that at the weekend, I would have probably have been sold for millions in the transfer window!"
However, Palace captain Shaun Derry was not surprised with his side's exploits after their off-the-field problems had brought the players closer together.
Derry added: "We came into the game with great confidence.
"Our problems have been well documented but there has been a great spirit within the squad.
"We hope to use this as a catalyst for Saturday for what is a massive game away to Scunthorpe."
