Daggers hammer Clanfield in FA Youth Cup second round

 

Clanfield came into the tie as one of the lowest-ranked side remaining in the competition but were quickly undone by the brilliance of Florence, as well as strikes from James Turvey and Blue Gallagher, the Daggers setting up a clash with Oxford United in the next round.

 

Elsewhere on Thursday, having swept aside AFC Totton 9-0 in the previous round, Cheltenham Town were made to work a lot harder to see off Welling United 2-0.

 

The stubborn visitors held out until extra-time, where Will Dawes and Ben Hailwood smashed home to set up a clash with Wigan Athletic or Bury.

 

On Wednesday, Oxford United and Blackburn Rovers conjured up 3-1 home victories over Bristol Rovers and Wrexham respectively while Mansfield Town won 1-0 at Rotherham United.

 

It was a dramatic Tuesday night of action at Home Park, where Klaidi Lolos netted with just 40 seconds remaining as Plymouth Argyle edged past AFC Wimbledon 3-2.

 

Goals from Matt Ward, a bullet header from Tom Purrington and Lolos’ injury-time strike means they’ve set up a mouthwatering tie with Manchester City.

 

Fleetwood Town narrowly avoided an upset against Tamworth as they came from behind in extra-time to win 2-1.

 

Chandler Pegg’s hooked shot had put the hosts in front but Liam Collings equalised with just 10 minutes to go from the penalty spot after Ryan Rydel had been felled.

 

As the match looking like it was heading towards penalties, Jack Bishop tapped home from close range to complete the comeback.

 

Dylan Asonganyi’s brace and Tommy Hope’s well-taken effort proved too much for Barnet as they were swept aside 3-1 at the Hive by MK Dons.

 

An own goal from Steven Shaw gave Scunthorpe United a narrow 1-0 victory over Cambridge United and ensured they would face holders Chelsea in the third round.

 

On Monday, Colchester United got the better of Bishop’s Stortford 5-0 while last week, Portsmouth beat Lewes 3-1.
