        Late goals see Wycombe through against 10-man Leatherhead

        Craig Mackail-Smith and Adebayo Akinfenwa struck lack goals to give Wycombe a 3-1 FA Cup second round victory over battling 10-man Leatherhead.Sammy Moore's Isthmian Premier Division side, the lowest ranked team left in the competition, had taken a shock eighth minute lead as Jack Midson converted a penalty after having his shirt tugged by Sido Jombati for his 12th goal in the FA Cup this season.The Tanners could have gone further ahead but Sean Clohessy was denied by Scott Brown and Yannis Ambroisine headed against the bar.But Sam Saunders equalised with a sensational 35-yard free-kick after 29 minutes and, despite a feisty game, the League Two side kept their cool to progress.Mackail-Smith put the hosts in front with 15 minutes to play, scoring on the rebound after Zaki Oualah had kept out Akinfenwa's left-footed drive.Leatherhead then had player-manager Moore sent off 12 minutes from time for a second yellow card following an altercation with Joe Jacobson.And Wycombe added a third in injury time as Akinfenwa headed in Matt Bloomfield's cross.

Pinball in the penalty area ended with Midson heading in at the far post.Leatherhead took the lead in the 82nd minute as Rob Swaine picked up a second yellow card for a foul in the area and Midson made no mistake.Moore had the last laugh - having rejected a move to Town earlier in the season - firing home a low effort in injury time to set up a second-round clash at Wycombe.

            Billericay held by Leatherhead in FA Cup first round

            Billericay battled back to hold Leatherhead to a 1-1 draw, forcing an FA Cup first-round replay between the seventh-tier sides.Jack Midson, a scorer in every round of this season's competition, nodded an opener for Leatherhead but his strike was cancelled out by Billy Bricknell at Fetcham Grove.The Tanners are in the second round hat for the first time in 11 years, while Billericay, who have spent big this season on the likes of Paul Koncheskey, Jamie O'Hara and Jermaine Pennant, are bidding for their first ever appearance at that stage.Against the run of play, Midson headed home at the near post in the 21st minute.He was found by a clipped cross from player-manager Sammy Moore, who was part of the AFC Wimbledon side that gave Liverpool a third-round fright in 2015.Former Liverpool star Pennant, an FA Cup finalist with Stoke, came off the bench and Town equalised through Bricknell's 68th-minute penalty after Sam Blackman tripped Ricky Modeste.Leatherhead clung on for a replay, with Zaki Oualah saving well from Rob Swaine's downward header.
