FA Cup highlights: Carlisle United 1-2 Shrewsbury Town

Ryan Bowman's winner sent Shrewsbury through to the FA Cup third round at the expense of his home-town club Carlisle at Brunton Park.

Steve Cotterill's League One visitors led from the 11th minute after teenager Tom Bloxham's fourth goal of the campaign.

Bowman, released by the Cumbrians as a youngster, secured victory with a crisp right-foot finish 13 minutes from time.

It proved a miserable afternoon for Keith Millen's side following promising back-to-back wins in League Two and the Papa John's Trophy against Walsall and Lincoln.

Until substitute Jordan Gibson curled in a stoppage-time consolation, Carlisle's best chances came either side of young striker Bloxham's latest goal.

Tristan Abrahams was foiled by Marko Marosi after six minutes, and Brad Young then failed to pick out Abrahams with an open goal gaping after Young disposed Marosi outside his area.

Home fans protested against the club's owners by throwing tennis balls onto the pitch in the first half, and stewards intervened after the break when a flag was unfurled on the main stand terrace.
