Norwich City vs Luton Town was an FA Cup fourth round tie, played on 26 January 2013 at Carrow Road, Norwich. Luton won the match 1–0.[1] This was the first time in the Premier League era that a top division side was beaten by a non-League team,[2] and the first time since Altrincham beat Birmingham City at St. Andrew's in 1986 that this feat was achieved at the home of the top-flight team.[3] The last team to beat a top division side from the Conference was Sutton United when they beat Coventry City in 1989.[1] Luton became the seventh non-League team since World War II to reach the fifth round of the FA Cup.[4]
