Andrews made a beeline for the home dressing room at the end of the 1-0 victory and was clapped out after celebrating Macclesfield’s efforts. “I’ve a lot of respect for the way they play and the spirit they have, it was very impressive,” he said. I love the English football pyramid, I’ve played in a lot of it and I’ve coached in a lot of it. “There’s no point saying otherwise, because the facts are that Arsenal are top of the Premier League and Macclesfield are level six, so it’s a huge shift. “That’s natural, they’ve just lost a football match and it will take a little time but they all know what they’ve achieved.”
