Chesterfield, the team that eliminated League One leaders Portsmouth on Sunday, is set to face Leyton Orient in the second round. Manager Paul Cook expressed his delight with his team’s progress, emphasizing the growing strength of the National League.

“It is a great result for us as a National League team, but the division is getting so strong now, with the managers and players that are dropping down into it,” Cook told ITV Sport.

“The days of non-league teams are not there anymore; it’s such a strong division now. We did well today without the ball and out of possession, and Pompey is a great team.

“We had to work our socks off because they are so dangerous, but I felt it would be our day today, and we deserved it. We will keep going in the second round, but my focus is on promotion. We aren’t going to win the FA Cup, but we will enjoy the win and look forward to the next round.”
