FA Cup third round review
Non-league Dagenham & Redbridge were denied the biggest shock of the FA Cup third round - on a day of scares for Premiership sides. The Nationwide Conference side - rated 10,000/1 by the bookies to win the cup - were on the verge of a famous win at The Valley. Junior McDougald stunned the Premiership side just before half time when he put the Daggers 1-0 up. Charlton increased the pressure on the part-timers after the break but Dagenham still looked set to win. That was until John Salako equalised for Charlton in the 86th minute following a lengthy injury stoppage. Match report But while Dagenham were held to a draw another non-league outfit, Kingstonian, are through to the fourth round after a fine 1-0 win at Southend United. The Conference strugglers stunned Southend when Eddie Akuamoah put them ahead at Roots Hall after just eight minutes. Both teams had a player sent off but it Geoff Chapple's part-timers who held out to win to reach round four for the first time ever. Match report
