After securing a dramatic 1-1 draw at the Riverside Stadium thanks to Matthew Dolan’s stoppage-time goal, Newport welcomed Tony Pulis’ side to their manager’s home town for a replay. With the prestige of a fifth-round tie with Manchester City up for grabs, Newport were good value for their win, which was secured via second-half goals from Robbie Willmott and that man Amond again. A joyous night for the club was completed after the final whistle, with goalkeeper Day sprinting off the pitch to join his wife following the birth of their twins.
