Phoebe Langan’s last-gasp winner sent Carlisle United through to the Adobe Women’s FA Cup second round qualifying with a dramatic 2-1 win over Northallerton Town.
Carlisle looked set to progress thanks to Bessie Best’s second-half strike, only for Northallerton to equalise in the third minute of additional time.
But there was a final twist in the tale, as Langan raced through on goal and calmly slotted home the winner to seal a thrilling win on the road in first round qualifying.
Carlisle are joined by Redcar Town, who beat Whitehaven 1-0 courtesy of Abi Foy’s first-half goal, as well as a penalty save from Ellie Randall.
