Leyton Orient player just produced one of the most outrageous moments in FA Cup history against Man City and we're in awe

A goal to remember for the ages at Brisbane Road.

Leyton Orient took the lead against Manchester City in the FA Cup fourth round - with one of the greatest moments in recent FA Cup history.

The League One side were more than up for the fight against the reigning Premier League champions in the early stages at Brisbane Road.

Orient caused City's defence plenty of problems on the counter attack and were arguably better value to take the lead in the opening 15 minutes.

They did take the lead at Brisbane Road - and in some style.

After Orient won the ball back from Nico Gonzalez, Tottenham loanee Jamie Donley spotted Stefan Ortega off his line and let fly from almost 50 yards out.

The ball flew over Ortega's head and clattered the crossbar, before hitting the German goalkeeper and going into the back of the net.

That touch meant that the goal sadly went down as an own goal, but it was still a memorable moment for all connected with Orient.

City players appealed for a foul on Nico in the build-up, although it didn't appear as if there was significant contact. VAR is not in operation during any of the FA Cup fourth round fixtures, including those being held at Premier League grounds.

As mentioned, Donley is on loan at the League One side for the season from Spurs, with Ange Postecoglou allowing him the opportunity to have more first team football.

He has scored five goals in 21 League One appearances for Orient under the management of Richie Wellens - who is a season ticket holder at none other than Manchester United.

The London side, whose former chairman and honorary president Barry Hearn is also in attendance, held on to their advantage for the remainder of the first half to go into half-time with a deserved 1-0 lead at Brisbane Road.
