Rhys Murphy hit a brace to send Yeovil into the second round of FA Cup after a 3-2 win over Gateshead at Huish Park.

Murphy gave the Glovers an early lead before Jordan Stevens doubled the advantage.

Murphy added a second to put Yeovil in complete control but a pair of late goals from Marcus Dinanga kept them on their toes.

Yeovil started brightly and Murphy turned in a long ball over goalkeeper Archie Mair to put the National League South side in front just three minutes in.

The Somerset side increased their lead when Jordan Stevens slotted the ball into the bottom corner.

Murphy reacted quickest to make it three before Dinanga converted a penalty before also finding the net five minutes into stoppage time but Yeovil held on.

Salford were denied an FA Cup upset in the 93rd minute as Emmanuel Fernandez’s header rescued a 2-2 draw for Sky Bet League One Peterborough United.

The centre-back was brought on as a late substitute and played up front as Posh chased a game they trailed thanks to two howlers from Nicholas Bilokapic.

The League Two side took the lead after just four minutes when the keeper passed the ball straight to Stephen Mallan from the edge of his box, who fired into an empty net.

They held the lead throughout the first half but Ricky-Jade Jones levelled for Posh just 25 seconds into the second half.

Joel Randall cut back a pass to Jones and it was a simple finish for the forward.

Posh then took control of the game but their efforts came grinding to a halt when, after 69 minutes, Bilokapic inexplicably let Zak Sturge’s backpass roll under his foot and trickle into the net.

Fernandez forced a replay in the dying seconds by heading in Ephron Mason-Clark’s cross from inside the six-yard box.

Leyton Orient progressed to the second round of the FA Cup for only the second time in eight years as they overcame Carlisle 3-1 at Brisbane Road.

Goals by Joe Pigott and substitutes Aaron Drinan and Ruel Sotiriou proved defining, while Joe Garner replied for the visitors.

Orient went ahead from the penalty spot in the 11th minute after Dan Happe had been fouled by Owen Moxon and Pigott stepped forward to send keeper Tomas Holy the wrong way with his spot-kick.

Four minutes later, the Cumbrians lost the services of Callum Guy, who was taken off on a stretcher with a leg injury.

Pigott missed the opportunity to double the advantage just before the break when he failed to convert an Idris El Mizouni cross before the Cumbrians levelled early in the second half.

Garner tested Sol Brynn with a powerful drive after 49 minutes but found the net a minute later when heading in a centre by Ben Barclay.

O’s restored their lead after 65 minutes when Drinan stretched out a leg to meet a Tom James cross and put the outcome beyond doubt in added time when Sotiriou pounced to drive the ball between Holy’s legs.

Teenager Olly Sully broke Scarborough hearts with a stoppage-time equaliser to secure an ill-deserved 1-1 draw and replay for League Two strugglers Forest Green.

Sully, 18, pounced from close range after teacher Alex Wiles had earlier opened the scoring in the first half for the National League North outfit, who were playing in the first round proper for the first time since the club’s reformation in 2007.

With Forest Green struggling to find any cohesive patterns of play, Wiles showed nimble footwork to fashion space in the away box before drilling a 10-yard drive into James Belshaw’s bottom-right corner in the 27th minute.

Belshaw then needed to make a smart save to prevent Forest Green from falling further behind before the break, denying rampaging right wing-back Kieran Weledji following good combination play between Frank Mulhern and Wiles that had carved Rovers’ left channel open.

The away team improved marginally in the second half with a thumping, edge-of-the-box effort by Callum Jones dipping just over.

But an unmarked Jacob Maddox was guilty of a howling miss in the 68th minute, side-footing wide of a gaping goal from eight yards following Charlie McCann’s right-wing raid.

Home keeper Ryan Whitley then parried away a firm Nathan Holland drive but he was eventually beaten when the home defence failed to deal with a ball into the box and McCann’s square pass across the face of goal was tapped in by Sully.

Alfreton reached the FA Cup second round after a routine 2-0 win over Worthing.

Nathan Newall and Kennedy Digie scored in the final 17 minutes to send the hosts through.

Jordan Thewlis wanted a penalty after being felled in the first half and Jake Day hit the post for the hosts in the first half.

But Alfreton had to wait until the second half to open the scoring.

Newall struck after 73 minutes when he found the top corner from just outside the box.

Digie wrapped up the win with three minutes left when he headed in Billy Fewster’s corner.

Gillingham avoided a potential FA Cup upset with a 2-0 victory at Hereford after Jayden Clarke’s deflected goal was followed by a late Tom Nichols penalty.

Jonny Williams then made a surging run into the Hereford box after 14 minutes, but saw his acrobatic effort also denied by the Bulls’ goalkeeper.

Stephen Clemence’s reign as Gillingham boss got off to a perfect start when Clarke’s 23rd-minute effort took a wicked deflection past Pond.

Connor Mahoney came within an inch of doubling the visitors’ lead 10 minutes later, but watched as his curling effort rattled a post.

Hereford had to wait until the hour mark for their first opening as Lassana Mendes found the run of Kidderminster loanee Ethan Freemantle who crashed his effort into the side-netting.

Paul Caddis’ side sensed an equaliser and almost found it four minutes later when Adam Livingstone’s cross fell kindly for Freemantle who fired wide.

With four minutes left on the clock Nichols hit Hereford on the break, running through on goal before being judged to have been clipped by goalkeeper Pond.

The experienced forward regained his composure to score from the penalty spot.

Winger Luke Thomas played a starring role as Bristol Rovers made their quality tell to stroll into the second round of the FA Cup with a 7-2 victory against Northern Premier League side Whitby.

Rovers captain John Marquis converted James Gibbons’ cross to give the home side the lead within five minutes, as Thomas cleverly played the full-back into space.

The lead lasted eight minutes as winger Junior Mondal rifled in from outside the penalty area with the visitors’ first shot on goal.

A superb individual goal from Thomas, as he slalomed past three players, in the 18th minute was then followed by an assist as the 24-year-old set up Jevani Brown for Rovers’ third three minutes later.

Antony Evans netted from the penalty spot in the 40th minute after being brought down by Jacob Gratton.

Goalkeeper Shane Bland then produced a string of second-half saves and substitute Connor Simpson curled into the top corner for Whitby after Evans had lost the ball to Mondal after 59 minutes.

An own-goal by Harrison Beeden, near-post finish from Harvey Vale and Aaron Collins goal with 13 minutes left wrapped up the win for the Sky Bet League One side.

Sutton produced a fine second-half comeback to beat National League AFC Fylde 2-1 in the first round of the FA Cup.

Matt Gray’s U’s were faced with a cup shock to non-league opposition for the second season running when they trailed the Lancashire club at half-time after Jon Uskabasi’s shot.

However, two Harry Smith goals in the space of five minutes sent the hosts through at Gander Green Lane.

Harry Beautyman and Christian N’Guessan fired shots over the bar for the hosts, while U’s keeper Dean Bouzanis had his fingers stung by Nick Haughton before Taelor O’Kane miscued the rebound.

Uskabasi then opened the scoring from a swift counter attack as he drilled across Bouzanis into the bottom corner.

Smith levelled with a diving header in the 62nd minute before a low left-footed effort put the hosts in front five minutes later.

Fylde had their chances to level as Bouzanis denied Josh Kay with an outstretched leg before Luke Charman shot wide.

Hearts were in mouths for the home fans late on as Ustabasi hit the last kick of the game wide.

Goals from Daniel Udoh and Jordan Shipley helped Shrewsbury to a 3-2 win against Colchester to reach the second round of the FA Cup.

The U’s broke the deadlock in the 10th minute from a quick passing move. The ball landed at Cameron McGeehan’s feet on the edge of the box and he hit a powerful drive into the back of the net.

It took Shrewsbury 12 minutes to pull level from a well-organised corner. A short ball reached Shipley on the edge of the area, and his goal-bound shot hit Udoh and went in.

Shrewsbury went ahead in the 56th minute from a long ball from Tom Flanagan. The ball reached the feet of Shipley just outside the box and he took it around the onrushing Owen Goodman and scored.

The Shrews got a third in the 79th minute after Taylor Perry’s goalward shot got deflected in by Connor Hall.

Colchester pulled one back seven minutes later through Zach Mitchell, who rose highest in the box to head home from a corner.

Accrington Stanley twice came from behind to earn a replay against Doncaster in the FA Cup.

Rovers led through a Kelvin Mellor own goal and a stunning Harrison Biggins strike but were pegged back by Shaun Whalley and Seamus Conneely.

Doncaster made an impressive start count after nine minutes. Mo Faal sent a header bouncing off the crossbar, with the ball falling to George Broadbent, whose driven effort ricocheted in off Accrington’s Mellor.

Despite excellent opportunities for Faal and Luke Molyneux, Rovers could not extend their advantage.

Accrington looked to have equalised after 72 minutes when Josh Andrews fired home but, after the goal was initially given, it was overturned by referee Ross Joyce.

The visitors did find the leveller two minutes later when Whalley curled home an excellent finish from the edge of the box.

Biggins netted with a piledriver from 30 yards in the 81st minute to restore Rovers’ advantage, but a replay was set when Conneely sidefooted home a low corner at the near post five minutes from time.

Jamie Reid’s last-gasp winner gave League One Stevenage a thrilling 4-3 FA Cup win over Tranmere at the Lamex.

Jordan Roberts opened the scoring for Stevenage before the League Two strugglers hit back through Luke Norris and Rob Apter.

Reid equalised from the spot and Kane Hemmings bundled home with 10 minutes left. Tranmere’s Kieron Morris dramatically levelled but Reid had the final say.

Roberts headed in Elliott List’s chipped cross inside four minutes.

Rovers levelled after Kane Smith’s foul on Norris, who squeezed in the penalty via the post.

In the second half, Apter fired an unstoppable drive into the top corner but Rovers were not ahead for long.

Norris was penalised for a push on Carl Piergianni inside the area and Reid sent Luke McGee the wrong way.

In a frantic finale, Hemmings was on the end of Piergianni’s header to push Boro ahead before Morris headed in a 90th-minute leveller.

But Reid was alive to tap home a rebound in the ninth minute of stoppage time, before Rovers’ unused goalkeeping substitute Joe Murphy was red-carded.

Chester held Vanarama National League York to a goalless draw to earn an FA Cup first round replay.

Chester looked good early on, with Olly Green being first to have a shot, but York’s Liam Edwards made a block six minutes in.

George Glendon then fired wide for the hosts.

Quevin Castro came close for the visitors, but his powerful shot was deflected behind for a corner.

Glendon then hit a volley wide after Declan Weeks’ cross was spilled.

Charlie Caton headed Weeks’ corner wide in the 86th minute.

Ten-man Port Vale earned an FA Cup first-round replay against fellow League One side Burton after battling to a goalless draw.

Captain Nathan Smith was given a straight red card in the first half, but Burton failed to make their one-man advantage count.

Vale midfielder Ben Garrity went close to opening the scoring early on as his header from Tom Sang’s free-kick hit the top of the crossbar.

The hosts continued to look lively and press forward, but their momentum was halted in the 18th minute when Smith saw red for bringing down Mark Helm.

Joe Powell struck the crossbar from the resulting free-kick before Garrity’s deflected effort went over after team-mate Uche Ikpeazu won the ball off Burton goalkeeper Max Crocombe.

The visitors threatened to snatch the lead just before half-time, but Mustapha Carayol’s shot was cleared off the line by Sang.

Albion went close again on a couple of occasions in the second half, with Powell nearly catching out Valiants stopper Connor Ripley with a speculative attempt from inside his own half and substitute Cole Stockton striking the inside of the post.

Down at the other end, Crocombe made an excellent save late on to thwart Vale substitute Ryan Loft’s effort from Alfie Devine’s cross.

Burton finally found the net in the dying moments, but it was ruled out for offside and ensured a replay will be required to separate the two teams.

Struggling Reading enjoyed a brief respite from their Sky Bet League One woes when they eased to a 3-2 victory over MK Dons in the FA Cup first round.

Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan fired the home side into a third-minute lead but the League Two side deservedly levelled through Alex Gilbey in the 39th minute.

Reading struck twice in four minutes after the hour mark, with goals from Harvey Knibbs and Lewis Wing effectively settling the tie before Max Dean pull one back in stoppage time for the Dons.

Reading, bottom of League One after losing their last five matches, made a sharp opening.

Wing threaded a fine pass through to top scorer Ehibhatiomhan and, after cleverly cutting inside, he lashed home his sixth goal of the season.

A sparse crowd provided little encouragement to either side but the visitors proved the livelier up until the interval, with Gilbey twice testing debutant home goalkeeper Joel Pereira.

Gilbey got his reward six minutes before the break, sliding in to tap home an excellent low cross from Cameron Norman.

Reading dominated most of the second half, regaining their lead in the 64th minute when Knibbs glanced in a header from Wing’s free kick.

More slack Dons defending soon after allowed Wing to slot home from close range to seal the win, with Dean’s scrambled effort coming too late to affect the outcome.

Macaulay Langstaff’s late strike ensured Notts County’s passage to the second round of the FA Cup with a thrilling 3-2 win over Crawley.

Danilo Orsi had given the visitors the lead and levelled the scores at 2-2 after Dan Crowley and David McGoldrick had the hosts in front, before substitute Langstaff came off the bench to send the Magpies through.

The visitors’ fast start was rewarded as Orsi’s first effort hit the post, only for the ball to fall back into his path to open the scoring in the third minute.

The hosts levelled 10 minutes later when Crowley finished from close range after good work from Tobi Adebayo, then Crowley turning provider early in the second half to set up McGoldrick for the goal which had County ahead.

Orsi restored parity in the contest by turning home Kellan Gordon’s inviting cross midway through the second half.

However, home boss Luke Williams introduced his top scorer from the bench and he took just seven minutes to steer home McGoldrick’s cross and earn County a place in the second round for the first time since 2019.
