York boss Martin Foyle revealed how a half-time dressing down inspired his side's shock 3-2 victory over League Two outfit Crewe.

Foyle's Blue Square Premier side were 2-1 down at the interval but Richard Brodie was the York hero as he hit the 88th-minute winner just moments after Richard Pacquette had levelled.

``It was absolutely fantastic,'' said Foyle. ``I said to the players at half time `Where do you want to go? Do you want a cup run?"

He added: ``We came out after the break and got what we deserved.

``It was a very exciting cup tie played in a good spirit. They pushed us in the first half and caused us problems, we got away with it. We were very flat in the dressing room at half-time but we knew we had to go for it.

``Richard (Brodie) took his goal well at the end - but then again, that's what I expect from him''

Caretaker Crewe boss Dario Gradi paid credit to the Minstermen adding: ``You've got to give full marks to York for a great fight back.

``Their two strikers caused us trouble in the air all afternoon. It was a first rate game and very entertaining for both sets of supporters.

``It's hugely disappointing to lose in such a fashion but you have to take your chances when they are given to you.''
