Parkinson echoed the sentiment. “It was another crazy game. I was pleased how we played against a really good side, and they made changes at half time as well,” he said to TNT Sports, via BBC Sport. “They were always going to have periods in the game but I thought throughout the game we looked dangerous, got the goals and it looked like we were comfortable.”
On Hudson-Odoi’s late equaliser, Parkinson said that it “deflated us, and the crowd as well, because you got the feeling after that ‘that was our big chance’.
“And the first ten minutes of extra time we were almost trying to gain an acceptance of that. Then we got better at the back end of the first period and in the second period we did well, and the penalties were great.
“It’s a big night for the club, it really is. I’m just pleased for this group of players to write their bit of history in the FA Cup.”
