Here's how they did it – courtesy of FFT's Adam Clery.
The big winners over the weekend? Maidstone United
The non-league side managed to overcome Stevenage to get into the next round of the Cup and are now looking to giantkill once more.
Who says the magic of the Cup is dead?
Tommy Conway for Bristol City against West Ham United: a moment he'll never forget and one that made the trip from west (country) to east (London) worth every second for those away fans.
Both are in the hat tonight.

Everyone else – one
Aside from Maidstone, the only other non-league side in the draw are Eastleigh
The Spitfires are in the hat after holding Newport County to a draw. They're a whole division above Maidstone, mind.
FFT's very own Matthew Ketchell had a bout of Cup fever over the weekend, as he and his beloved Toon made the short trip to Sunderland…

Happy with that draw?
That concludes our live blog – and some great ties to look forward to.
A tough game for Maidstone, with the sixth-tier giant killers heading to high-flying Ipswich in the Championship. That may be nothing compared to Eastleigh, should they get through, however: they may be hosting Manchester United.
Tottenham against Manchester City may well be the tie of the round and the holders have reason to fear Spurs: Guardiola doesn't have the best record against the north Londoners.
Which game are you looking forward to most?
