Torquay United manager Paul Wotton says his team were "embarrassing" as they lost 3-0 at eighth-tier village side Bishops Cleeve in the FA Cup.

Ross Langworthy took advantage of a defensive mix-up to put the hosts 1-0 up after 10 minutes in the second qualifying round tie.

He doubled the lead five minutes into the second half having seen the Gloucestershire side come close beforehand.

The hosts continued to create chances and were rewarded when Ethan Dunbear got a third with 20 minutes to go in what was described as the biggest game in the Southern League Division One side's history.

"I'm humiliated," Wotton told BBC Radio Devon after the match.

"It's embarrassing, we were second best. I don't even think we were second best, there's absolutely zero credit to be had today.

"Bishops Cleeve should have won by more, I'm at a loss really.

"I can't accept that performance for Torquay United. We didn't win a header, we didn't win a tackle.

"Our physicality was non-existent, our forward play was non-existent. I can suffer a lack of quality in a football game, I've got no problem with that, but I'm embarrassed with that team today."
