As the game looked set to go to extra-time after Cauley Woodrow had cancelled out Thelo Aasgaard’s opener, Elijah Adebayo scored his second goal in as many matches in the eighth minute of additional time to book a tie with Grimsby Town in the Fourth Round.

“I’ve got to start with giving the fans a massive shout-out and saying thank you, Edwards said in his post-match press conference. “It meant a lot, I know it’s not easy travelling a long, long way, best part of a 400-mile round trip through snow, freezing cold and an FA Cup replay. Thank you very much first and foremost, I’m really pleased.

“It was a game I thought we had lots of control in, we were expecting that, I thought we started really well, had one or two big chances and then struggled to create. We started the second half in very strange fashion, they scored a great goal but it was poor from our point of view but we showed loads of character to come back quickly and ultimately keep going to find a winner.

“I want to stay humble. We’re back here on Saturday so we don’t want to get carried away. It’s a great feeling now but we come here in the league on Saturday and there will probably be a different feel so I want to stay grounded and not get carried away.

“We’re very pleased, it’s great to win a game especially late on in the way we did it. Delighted for Eli, two goals in two which is great for him as well.”
