Great photo capturing the shock and disbelief on the face of Arsenal's Alex Iwobi during Sutton United's historic FA Cup upset on February 20, 2017. The non-league team stunned the football world with their 2-1 victory over the Premier League giants at Gander Green Lane. The FA Cup, the oldest domestic football competition in the world, is known for its giant-killing acts and unexpected results, but Sutton United's victory over Arsenal was one for the ages. The underdogs, who were then playing in the National League, the fifth tier of English football, took on the might of the Gunners, who were then languishing in the mid-table of the Premier League. The photo shows Iwobi, a regular in Arsenal's starting lineup, looking dejected as Sutton United's players celebrate their victory. The expression on his face encapsulates the disappointment and frustration felt by Arsenal fans and pundits alike. The defeat was a wake-up call for the Gunners, who went on to finish the season outside the top four for the first time in over two decades. The FA Cup has a unique ability to bring together fans of all levels, from the biggest clubs to the smallest non-league teams. Sutton United's victory over Arsenal was a reminder that in football, anything is possible. The photo serves as a testament to the unpredictability and excitement of the beautiful game. The photo was taken by Stuart MacFarlane, a renowned football photographer, during the fifth round of the FA Cup. It captures the raw emotion and intensity of the game, making it a must-have for any football fan's collection. The season was 2016-17, and the match took place at Sutton United's home ground, Gander Green Lane.
