Jubilant Micky Mellon hails his Shrewsbury heroes as they defeat Sheffield Wednesday

Shrewsbury manager Micky Mellon saluted his League One underdogs after they produced the shock of the FA Cup fourth round, in a dramatic 3-2 win over Championship promotion-chasers Sheffield Wednesday.

Trailing 2-1 with just three minutes remaining, Shaun Whalley equalised for the Shrews before wing-back Jack Grimmer headed in sub Scott Vernon’s cross on 97 minutes.

“I just think it was a terrific day for the football club,” said Mellon.
