Crawley Town boss Steve Evans praises his side's performance in their 1-0 FA Cup win over Hull.

Crawley Town boss Steve Evans has expressed his delight at his side's performance in their 1-0 FA Cup giant-killing of Hull City.

The win puts Crawley into the fifth round for the second consecutive season, the latest chapter in a journey that has seen the club also dominate the Conference and rise to the top of League Two in successive seasons.

Hull boss Nick Barmby accused some members of the Crawley staff of trying to get his players sent off, but Evans refuted his claim, arguing that his side deserved the result.

"I think he's grabbing at straws and he shouldn't say these things. Nick Barmby is an altar boy, is he? I don't think so. He's lost the game because we've come here and outplayed his team," said Evans.

"I think we were unlucky not to win by four or five. We came here with three strikers and aiming to be very attack-minded. I think if we had got a second, it would have been embarrassing for Hull."

Crawley are currently third in League Two, three points behind leaders Cheltenham with a game in hand.
