Northwich Victoria's near-victory away to Northampton Town may be overshadowed by a local fire that was visible from the stadium.

The part-timers were the lowest-ranked team remaining in the FA Cup coming into the second round, but they missed out on the possibility of being drawn against Premier League opposition as they let a 2-0 lead over Northampton slip after conceding three goals in three minutes. While that may be memorable enough for fans of the eighth tier side, supporters also witnessed a fierce fire blaze through the local Sixfields Tavern. https://twitter.com/PA_Sport_Pics/status/673162839465553921 https://twitter.com/SamElliott_NLP/status/673158061415100416 https://twitter.com/ChronandEcho/status/673178310994739200 It is understood that one person was treated by ambulance crews for smoke inhalation as a result of the fire.
