BAGGIES NEXT FOR THE GRECIANS AND THE GLOVERS HOST BANTAMS

Exeter City will be hosting Premier League side West Bromwich Albion in the third round after overcoming Forest Green Rovers, whilst Yeovil Town face League One side Bradford City.

The Grecians played half of their match with ten men following the dismissal of Jordan Tillson, but a Jayden Stockley header in extra time was enough to give them a 2-1 win that sets them up for a date with Alan Pardew's Baggies.

Yeovil sealed their place in round three at the expense of fellow League Two outfit Port Vale, who finished their second round replay with nine men after Christian Montano and James Gibbons were dismissed.

The Glovers also needed extra time to see off the Valiants with experienced striker Francois Zoko scoring the crucial goal after Otis Khan netted a brace.
