CHORLEY FC celebrated their FA Cup heroics on Saturday in style with an Adele sing-along that captured the attention of the singer herself.
The celebration came about after the non-league Lancashire side beat championship Derby County in the third round of the FA Cup.
Connor Hall and Mike Calveley were the men on target as the National League North side claimed a 2-0 victory on a freezing afternoon in Lancashire.
The win was one of the weekend's upsets, despite Derby's squad having been decimated by a coronavirus outbreak, which Chorley players celebrated with a heartfelt rendition of Adele's hit Someone Like You.

Their emotional victory song did not go unnoticed after Tottenham Hotspur-supporting Adele took to Twitter for the first time since last October to show her appreciation, posting a loveheart in response to their video.
At the time of writing, the video had clocked up almost eight million views.Â
Chorley FC now awaits the fifth round draw at 7pm tonight to find out who they will be playing next.
