National League side Wrexham are into the FA Cup first round after beating Blyth Spartans 3-2 at the Racecourse.

Having conceded a late equaliser at the first time of asking on Saturday, Wrexham almost let a three-goal lead slip in Tuesday's replay.

Ollie Palmer, Paul Mullin and Jordan Davies gave the Dragons a three-goal lead within the first 37 minutes.

JJ O'Donnell and Michael Richardson goals gave Blyth Spartans hope but they could not finish an unlikely comeback.
