League One side Northampton Town have been drawn against giants Manchester United in the third round of the EFL Cup.
Gorré celebrates scoring the winning penalty against West Brom
The East Midlands club welcomed West Brom to Sixfields Stadium on Tuesday night and, after the match ended 2-2 after extra time, came out on top 4-3 during the penalty shootout.
Having sent one Premier League side packing, the Cobblers will be hopeful of a second giant-killing when Jose Mourinho's men visit Sixfields on 20 September.
Northampton also have the added boost of being on an unbeaten league run stretching back 28 matches to their defeat against Portsmouth on 19 December 2015.
Town players were euphoric after progressing to the third round
Former United winger and second-round penalty hero Kenji Gorré was particularly excited about last night's draw.
The 21-year-old Dutchman joined the United academy at the age of eight and stayed with the club until he was sold to Swansea City three years ago.
He is currently on loan with Northampton until January 2017 and has played in both victorious League cup ties as well as all four of the Cobblers' league matches this season - all of which have ended in a draw.
In an interview with Sky Sports, Gorré said that he hoped Northampton would be drawn against United, and his dream has come true.

An interesting stat that might warm the cockles of Northampton fans' hearts - Manchester United have been knocked out by lower-league opposition in three of their last four League Cup meetings with sides from outside the top-flight, losing on penalties to Middlesbrough last season, succumbing 4-0 to MK Dons in 2014, and losing 2-1 (aet) to then-Championship side Crystal Palace in 2011.
"Are you looking forward to the visit to Sixfields, Jose?"
The dream lives on.
