FA Cup roundup: Louis Britton fires Weston-super-Mare into third round

Louis Britton scored twice as Weston-super-Mare booked their spot in the third round of the FA Cup for the first time with a 2-0 win at fellow National League South side Chelmsford.

To compound Chelmsford’s misery, Taylor Clark was given his marching orders late on, 12 minutes after coming off the bench, for a dangerous high tackle.

Cheltenham avoided a cup shock after twice coming from a goal behind before scoring four times in the final half-hour to see off non-league Buxton 6-2.

George Ward struck to give Buxton a 2-1 half-time lead, after Tai Sodje’s opener was cancelled out by Isaac Hutchinson, but substitute Robbie Cundy levelled before the hour. It was one-way traffic from then on as Jordan Thomas scored twice, with Hutchinson getting his second and Ethon Archer also scoring.

Fleetwood were unable to hang on to leads against Luton in a 2-2 draw, but overcame Jack Wilshere’s side 4-2 on penalties.

Bolton came a cropper at Swindon, who cruised to a 4-0 victory thanks to Aaron Drinan’s hat-trick, capped by an astonishing 30-yard lob, with Joe Snowdon also on the scoresheet.

Grimsby gained revenge for losing to Wealdstone in last year’s first round by trouncing them 4-0 this time around, with Jaze Kabia scoring twice, and MK Dons overcame Oldham 3-1.

Jack Aitchison’s double helped Exeter forget about their financial troubles in a 4-0 thrashing of Wycombe while Patrick Kelly’s second-half strike helped Barnsley edge out Peterborough 1-0.

Ben Waine scored as Port Vale beat Bristol Rovers 1-0 and Mansfield defeated Accrington 3-1 on penalties after a 2-2 draw.

Wigan and Cambridge also needed spot-kicks to get past Barrow and Stockport respectively.
