Newport County booked their place in the second round of the Emirates FA Cup after a dramatic victory over Gillingham at Rodney Parade.
After an end-to-end contest and extra-time drama, the tie was eventually decided by a penalty shootout — with County holding their nerve to progress.
Cameron Antwi’s composed finish in extra time looked to have sealed the win before the visitors forced penalties late on. But the Exiles showed remarkable character, with Ben Lloyd scoring the decisive spot-kick to send the home crowd into celebration.
The result continues County’s strong recent run of form and sets up another exciting chapter in this year’s FA Cup campaign.
