1. Shooter McGavin strikes again.
United midfielder Brett McGavin's spectacular second goal for the Gulls helped to spark a comeback which saw them overturn a two goal deficit to force a replay against Hampton and Richmond. The Beavers defence only half cleared a cross from Dylan Crowe and the ball fell invitingly to McGavin, who found the top corner with a half volley from 25-yards. His effort now makes him United's second highest scorer for the current campaign.
During his season-long loan spell with King's Lynn Town from Ipswich Town in the 2021-22 season, McGavin found the back of the net four times in 41 appearances in all competitions. He still appears well placed to surpassing that return for the Gulls, but still has some way to go to match the goalscoring hauls of Armani Little and Connor Lemonheigh-Evans.
2. Donnellan's equaliser.
After switching from defence to midfield following the introduction of Ali Omar in place of Tom Lapslie, Shaun Donnellan found United's equaliser when he headed home Dillon De Silva's 81st minute cross. The former Republic of Ireland international was one of United's brighter performers on the game, and could he become the regular in the centre of the Gulls midfield as the season progresses?
3. Wyatt strikes the upright.
One of United's brightest attacking threats in the first half, left wing-back Ben Wyatt forced a save from Beavers keeper Matteo Saloman in opening minutes and on the half hour mark he struck the upright from 25-yards. Had his long range effort gone in, it would have seen the Gulls equalise earlier in the game and the match could have had a different complexion. Nevertheless, Wyatt only remained on the pitch for 45 minutes, as he went off with an injury at half time, and United will be crossing their fingers that he will be fit for the replay.
4. Okoli's block.
After getting the score back to 2-2, United came agonisingly close to losing the tie as Hampton and Richmond looked well placed to score - only to be denied by a block from the Gulls' Millwall loanee Chin Okoli. Whilst only a teenager, Okoli appears incredibly powerful for a young defender and is very similar to a young Darren Moore, who played for United between 1992 and 1995 before reaching the Premier League with West Bromwich Albion.
5. Dillon De Silva on his way to emulating Sinclair Armstrong and Stephen Duke-McKenna.
Last season, Sinclair Armstrong and Stephen Duke-McKenna enjoyed successful loan spells with the Gulls with QPR and were instrumental in helping the Gulls to finish the 2021-22 season strongly. The early signs are that Dillon De Silva could emulate them after a promising debut from the sub's bench.
6. Keep an eye out for ball number 64.
Both the Gulls and Hampton and Richmond will go into Monday night's draw as ball number 64. Therefore both sides will know the prize at stake when they face each other in Tuesday night's replay.
