Rovers sharpshoot­er pays tribute to a family member after FA Cup goal glut

-

FA CUP: Vanarama National League outfit Barnet came from behind to win their FA Cup replay 2-1 at Bristol Rovers and book a place in the second round.

The League One side had gone ahead after 62 minutes through a close-range effort from Tom Nichols.

The Bees, though, dragged themselves level with 18 minutes left when defender Craig Robson lobbed the goalkeeper.

Just two minutes later, substitute Byron Harrison knocked the ball in at the far post to complete the turnaround.

Barnet will be at home to fellow non-league side Stockport County in the second round.

Shrewsbury avoided an FA Cup shock as they ran out 3-1 winners at big-spending National League side Salford.

Fejiri Okenabirhi­e settled any early nerves when he put the League One side in front after 33 minutes.

Midfielder Greg Docherty made it 2-0 just after the hour with an angled finish, before a header from Irishman Adam Rooney gave Salford hope with 13 minutes left.

Okenabirhi­e, though, scored again in stoppage time to secure the Shrews a place in round three and a home tie against Scunthorpe United.

Gillingham needed extra time to defeat Hartlepool United 4-3.

The National League side led 2-0 at half-time, but Max Ehmer’s effort and Tom Eaves’ 90th-minute penalty sent the game into extra time where Luke O’Neill and Elliott List ensured there would be no shock result.
