Goalkeeper heads Leyton Orient into FA Cup third round

Leyton Orient striker Daniel Agyei has ended National League Oldham Athletic’s dream of a place in the FA Cup third round after Os goalkeeper Josh Keeley had scored a last-gasp equaliser to take the tie to extra time.

Keeley’s header in the ninth minute of added time cancelled out Manny Monthe’s 47th-minute opener for Oldham and set the stage for Agyei, who had earlier missed a penalty, to win it for the League One outfit in added time at the end of the extra 30 minutes.

“I think this will go down – not the game, but the moment in the game – will go down in (history),” Orient manager Richie Wellens said in a video posted on the club’s X account.

“Full credit to Josh because he deserves this. He has the character and the belief and I’m pleased for him and all the team.”

It was left to Dagenham and Redbridge to fly the flag for the National League as goals from Junior Morias and Josh Rees were enough to get the better of League Two AFC Wimbledon, who had equalised through Matty Stevens.

National League North Brackley Town gave a good account of themselves against League One high-fliers Stockport County, but could not keep their cup dream alive either as they slipped to a 3-1 defeat.

League One leaders Wycombe Wanderers booked their place in the third round courtesy of a 2-0 win – their 11th in a row – at National League Wealdstone, but Crawley Town squandered a 2-0 lead at home to League One counterparts Lincoln City to go down 4-3.

Peterborough ******* scored three times inside the last 13 minutes to secure their passage with a 4-3 home win over Notts County and Bristol Rovers beat Barnsley 4-3 on penalties after a 0-0 draw at Oakwell.

Accrington Stanley went through 4-1 on penalties against 10-man Swindon Town after Tyler Walton’s added-time equaliser had made it 2-2, while 2013 winners Wigan Athletic scored a 2-1 comeback victory at League One rivals Cambridge ******* in extra time.

Elsewhere, Charlton Athletic eased to a 4-0 win at Walsall. Exeter City scored a 2-0 victory over Chesterfield. Salford City had a 2-0 success against Cheltenham Town, while Stephen McLaughlin’s strike secured a 1-0 win for Mansfield Town at Stevenage and Morecambe went through by the same score at home to Bradford City.
