Stevenage's spot-kick saving hero Jamie Cumming has shared his joy at helping to send his side through to the third round of the FA Cup.
Cumning saved two spot-kicks in the dramatic shootout as Boro beat League One leaders Hull City 6-5 on penalties after a 1-1 draw after extra time.
Speaking after the match Cumming said: "It's an amazing feeling. For a keeper it's the best way to win.
"I'm almost a bit annoyed I didn't save the penalty in normal time - but I think I played well apart from that, and it's a massive win for this football club."
Cumming saved from Tom Eaves and Sean McLoughlin to send Stevenage through. Earlier the young Chelsea star was beaten by a 51st minute penalty from Hull's No9 Eaves as the visitors went ahead after the interval.
However, Elliot List equalised on 78 minutes to send the tie into extra time.
I did a lot of homework on five or six of their players in case it went to penalties. But I didn't save one of those, they changed the way they took them!
"I think it's better when you rely on your instincts."
