Northwich Victoria 1-0 Charlton

Northwich Victoria celebrate

Wayne Riley struck nine minutes from time to earn Northwich Victoria a shock victory over League One Charlton and a place in the FA Cup second round.

Riley, 18, had been on the field for five minutes when Michael O'Connor's header put him clear and he coolly slipped the ball past Darren Randolph.

Randolph had seemingly done enough to earn the Addicks a replay with a fine save from a first-half O'Connor header.

But the Blue Square North team fully merited their win.

The Vics had the first chance after six minutes when Ian Herring's long throw was flicked on by Matt Bailey, but there was no-one on hand to convert the chance.

And they wasted a golden opportunity after 26 minutes when they failed to convert a number of chances in a frantic goalmouth scramble, which was eventually halted by Randolph.

The visitors were indebted to Randolph three minutes before the interval with his brilliant reaction save from O'Connor's header.

Charlton had the first strike at goal after the break when Jonjo Shelvey fired straight at Curtis Aspden on 55 minutes.

But the second half came to life after the arrival of Riley, with the teenager making no mistake after O'Connor's good work to send the home fans wild.
