Bristol Rovers manager Paul Trollope was full of praise for his side after they caused an FA Cup third round replay upset by knocking out Premier League Fulham.
The Pirates edged through 5-3 on penalties after the game had ended goalless at the Memorial Stadium, to set up a fourth round meeting with League Two Barnet.
Trollope admitted: "I'm hugely proud, it was a great performance. We defended well when we had to and produced some good play going forward.
"We were disappointed not to be up at half-time, but we kept going and had some good spells. To win with five penalties like that was great.
"It's a Premier League scalp and again we've reached the fourth round of the FA Cup, which we did last season."
