A superb late comeback saw Bradford City earn a replay against fellow League One outfit Peterborough.

Oldham progressed past Maidstone 2-0 at the Gallagher Stadium, with goals from veteran pair Peter Clarke and Chris O’grady.

Cauley Woodrow scored twice as Barnsley won 4-2 at Southend, with Kieffer Moore and Mike-steven Bahre also on target, with Sam Mantom and Timothee Dieng replying.
