Notts County 2-3 Shrewsbury Town: Ryan Bowman hat-trick wins FA Cup second-round tie

Ryan Bowman's hat-trick fired Shrewsbury into the FA Cup third round with a 3-2 victory over Notts County.

Bowman gave his side an early lead, only for Richard Brindley to equalise for the hosts with a stunner, but the Shrewsbury striker completed his treble with two goals inside eight second-half minutes before 17-year-old James Sanderson pulled one back late on.

The visitors were gifted the lead in the first minute when Aden Baldwin's slip let in Dan Udoh, who squared to Bowman for a simple finish.

Luke Williams' side dominated possession and were rewarded seven minutes before the break when Brindley's long-range effort flew beyond Marko Marosi.

But Shrewsbury were able to regain their lead early in the second half when a combination of defensive errors allowed Bowman to grab his second and he struck for a third time in the 56th minute after another mistake from Baldwin.

The hosts got their second late on through Sanderson, picking his spot with one of his first touches on his professional debut.

Shrewsbury are through to round three for the seventh straight season.
