Accrington Stanley 2-1 Salisbury

Accrington Stanley avoided a FA Cup upset thanks to a narrow win.

The Reds went ahead in the 19th minute, when John Miles's corner was dummied by Phil Edwards and Jimmy Ryan finished from the edge of the area.

Stanley got their two-goal cushion from another Miles corner after 33 minutes, which was headed home by Michael Symes.

Salisbury pulled a goal back in the 66th minute when Matt Tubbs raced on to a Flood pass before slotting into the bottom corner.


Salisbury manager Tommy Widdrington told BBC Wiltshire:

"We gave them two goals from set pieces and it's very disappointing. It's a great competition but I'm not even going to look at the draw now.

"I can't knock my lads for effort in the second half, but we gave ourselves too much to do.

"I'm not having insipid performances from individuals - it's not the way I was as a player and it frustrated me."
