FA Cup Wrap: Harriers upset Peterborough

The Conference side fell behind to a Tommy Rowe strike in the 26th minute of their third-round replay on Tuesday, before goals from Michael Gash and Jack Byrne turned the game on its head.

Britt Assombalonga pulled the hosts level from the spot in the 74th minute after Lee Vaughan had felled the striker in the box, but Joe Lolley sealed a famous victory for Andy Thorn's men two minutes later.

Elsewhere, Joe Garner scored a hat-trick as League One side Preston North End overcame Championship club Ipswich Town 3-2 to set up a fourth-round match against Garner's former club Nottingham Forest.

In Tuesday's remaining third-round replays, Watford recorded a 2-0 victory at home against Bristol City and will face the winner of tomorrow's clash between Manchester City and Blackburn Rovers, Port Vale will host Brighton and Hove Albion after triumphing 3-2 at Plymouth Argyle, and Sheffield Wednesday face a trip to Rochdale after their 4-1 victory over non-league Macclesfield Town.

Birmingham City will be relishing the opportunity to dump Swansea City out of a second cup competition this season, after a 3-0 triumph over Bristol Rovers set up a fourth-round tie against Michael Laudrup's men, whom they knocked out of the League Cup in September.
