Manchester City will visit Leyton Orient in the fourth round of the FA Cup after the League One club defeated Derby County on penalties in Tuesday's third round.
Charlie Kelman and Dajaune Brown exchanged goals early on as the draw at Brisbane Road raised the entire third tier and a meeting with the Premier League champions was up for grabs.
Orient were against it when Sean Clare was shown a second yellow card in the second half of extra time, but they held on to force a shoot-out.
Both teams were perfect with their first five penalties before Josh Keeley saved from Callum Elder and set up Zech Obeiro to seal Orient's place in the next round.
They host Pep Guardiola's team on the weekend of February 8, hoping to reach the fifth round for the first time since 2010/11.
Our 12th man everywhere.

Elsewhere on Tuesday, Wigan Athletic beat Mansfield Town 2-0 thanks to two excellent results from Thelo Aasgaard, meaning they will face Fulham in the next leg.
Preston North End, meanwhile, will host Wycombe Wanderers in round four after beating Charlton Athletic 2-1 at Deepdale, with Milutin Osmajic scoring twice either side of Luke Berry's equalizer.
