FA Cup: AFC Wimbledon thrash Ramsgate to cruise into third round - as it happened

1. League Two AFC Wimbledon beat eighth-tier Ramsgate 5-0 in FA Cup second round
2. Iraq striker Ali Al-Hamadi scores twice for Dons
3. Dons will host Championship high-fliers Ipswich in third round
4. Eighth-tier Ramsgate were the lowest-ranked side left in the competition

Thank you and goodnight...

So the lowest-ranked team in the competition have been sent packing in their ninth game of this year's competition by a thoroughly professional AFC Wimbledon side.

The Dons will give Ipswich a game in the third round at Plough Lane while it's back to the quest for the Isthmian South East title for Ramsgate.

Thank you for joining us, tonight and across the four scheduled days of FA Cup second round action.

You don't have long to wait for more bonus action, however, we'll be back tomorrow night for the hugely anticipated second crack at playing Alfreton v Walsall which was called off on Saturday lunchtime.

Hope to see you then!

'I am immensely proud'

Ramsgate manager Ben Smith told ITV4: "It was a fantastic occasion. We've given away a few sloppy goals and I'd have liked a few more attacking moments but we've given a good account of ourselves.

"I am immensely proud of them. They are a professional team and you have seen the gulf in physicality and fitness. We're back to the Isthmian South East now.

"I thought Tom Hadler was fantastic and it was just a shame his defenders couldn't help him out with a couple of the rebounds."

'I'm just hungry to score loads of goals'

Man of the match Ali Al-Hamadi told ITV 4:

I'm just hungry to score loads of goals, any striker on a hat-trick would be disappointed to be taken off.

I think sometimes players say a lot of cliches but I am generally hungry and keen to take it game by game.

On our day we are a match for any team, I don't care what division you are in.

Ex-Wimbledon winger Jobi McAnuff told ITV4:

They (bigger clubs) would have had an eye on him before tonight.

This man tonight was outstanding, his positioning, intelligence.

His all round game tonight was sensational.

Ex-England forward Eni Aluko added:

His attitude off the ball, his dominance, his stature.

Just from this game you can see he is an all-round centre-forward.

'The Dons do the business'

The Dons do the business.

AFC Wimbledon will play again in the FA Cup as Ipswich Town await.

FULL-TIME

AFC Wimbledon will host Ipswich in the third round of the FA Cup.

The League Two side flexed their professional muscles and left no doubt which was the side ranked 85 places higher in the pyramid.

Johnnie Jackson's side are closer to Manchester City than they are to Ramsgate, and it looked ike that for long spells.

PA Media

Ramsgate keeper Tom Hadler battled hard to keep the score down with a dozen saves but while it is the end of their FA Cup adventure this year, it is just the beginning of the eighth-tier club's journey.

The £120,000+ yielded by the cup run will surely make Ramsgate a name we see again in future seasons.

They head to Three Bridges on Saturday seeking to continue their challenge to win Isthmian South East.

As for Johnnie Jackson's side, they have scored five goals in each round so far and on this showing, the home tie with Ipswich should be an eye-catching affair.

'Really good defending from what would have made it six'

Matt Gerrard

BBC Radio Kent

Really good defending from Paxman from what would have made it six.

Tom Hadler had a great game to stop it being double figures, but they'll go back to concentrating on the league.

CLOSE!

Tom Hadler denies Josh Neufville from an angle with his foot and then the follow-up is hacked off the line by Jack Paxman before Hadler drops to his left to stop a drive from the edge of the box.

YELLOW CARD

Armani Little goes into the book for a clumsy challenge and the Dons lead 3-0 for the second time tonight.

GREAT SAVE!

Tom Hadler's had a few quiet minutes but he has his palms stung by Connor Lemonheigh-Evans' rising shot from the edge of the box which he has to tip over the centre of his bar.

That's 10 saves for the one-time England Schoolboys keeper.

HITS THE WOODWORK

Josh Davison, who is sporting Darwin Nunez-style plaits in his hair tonight, does what Nunez does and strikes the post with a close range volley from a cross from the left.

Seven added minutes to come.

PA Media

YELLOW CARD

Connor Lemonheigh-Evans goes into the book for a foul in midfield, joining teammate Huseyin Biler who was cautioned earlier.

No Ramsgate bookings.

'He's actually younger than the new incarnation of Wimbledon'

Terry Gibson

Ex-Wimbledon forward on ITV 4

He's actually younger than the new incarnation of Wimbledon.

It's a big moment for these young players on the fringes of the team.

The game is on television, I'm sure they have never played in such a big game as this.

SUBSTITUTION

Alex Pearce, a former semi-finalist with Reading NINE years ago now, my goodness, and James Ball are on for the Dons with Jake Reeves and Joe Lewis withdrawn a few minutes early.

Lee Martin and TJ Jadama are also subbed by Ben Smith, allowing Freddie Oliver and Tristan Holden, who is 16 (sixteen) to come on for a wonderful experience. Even though it's nearly bedtime.

Ramsgate's Mike West spins in midfield and frees Jordan Green down the right, he bursts to the byline and slides the ball into the middle but Joe Taylor can't take advantage and the defence clears.

Still some attacking intent from the eighth-tier visitors.

SUBSTITUTION

For the second round in succession AFC Wimbledon have hit five goals at home. Can they find another to better that tally in the 10 minutes and stoppage time remaining?

After a brief stoppage to clear the field of an unwanted interloper, Omar Bugiel is withdrawn, he looks devastated and gets an arm around the shoulder from Johnnie Jackson, who was of course the one who chose to hook him.

18-year-old Aron Sasu gets a run-out for the Dons.

PA Media

SUBSTITUTION

Medy Elito, who has played at Wireless and appeared on Beyonce's instagram story, is on for the Rams along with Jack Paxman, whose twin brother Alfie is suspended tonight. They are known as the Weasleys at Ramsgate.

Bode Anidugbe and Benny Bioletti make way.

Can the visitors find a goal to treasure?

GREAT SAVE!

Tom Hadler gets down well to block Josh Neufville's low strike and does even better to stick out a big boot to prevent the rebound falling to Omar Bugiel.

Bugiel, clearly unimpressed, gets the ball back seconds later and lashes in a low drive from 20-yards which Hadler clutches well on the slippery surface.

Bugiel might just have him on his dartboard tomorrow morning.

That's Hadler's ninth save of the match.

'Any striker on a night like this would want to stay on the pitch'

Terry Gibson

Ex-Wimbledon forward on ITV 4

No hat-trick for Ali Al-Hamadi.

No doubt about it he looks disappointed.

Any striker on a night like this would want to stay on the pitch.

SUBSTITUTION

PA Media

Respite for the Rams? Ali Al-Hamadi is hauled off one short of a hat-trick. He looks unimpressed. Josh Davison and Isaac Ogundere are on for him and Huseyin Biler.

Joe Ellul is also off for Ramsgate, Sinnkaye Christie comes on with 34-year-oid Ellul perhaps having an eye on the big league game at Three Bridges on Saturday.

Back to reality...

GREAT SAVE!

Rams keeper Tom Hadler shows lightning reactions to get up a big right hand to tip Connor Lemonheigh-Evans' thunderbolt from an angle over the bar.

Maybe his best so far.
