Stockport County 1 – 2 Walsall
Andy Williams scored a 95th-minute penalty against Stockport County to earn Walsall an FA Cup fourth-round tie at home to Leicester City.
Paddy Madden’s precise strike looked to have earned the hosts a replay two minutes from the end of normal time.
Madden then conceded a spot-kick for a foul on Liam Kinsella, allowing Williams to fire in the winner.
Danny Johnson’s fierce second-half shot went through Ben Hinchliffe’s gloves as Walsall struck first in a tight tie.
The forward’s effort provided relief for his side, who had been denied by the offside flag when Liam Gordon rolled the ball beyond Hinchliffe after the break.
Hinchliffe and opposite number Owen Evans produced several saves before Johnson struck.
Hinchliffe denied Douglas James-Taylor’s stabbed effort from close range early on and turned Isaac Hutchinson’s drive around a post.
Antoni Sarcevic saw a dangerous shot blocked for Stockport before the break, and debutant Isaac Olaofe then went close with a header from Chris Hussey’s inviting cross.
Walsall was convinced they deserved an earlier penalty when Tom Knowles tangled with Hussey inside the home penalty area shortly before half-time, and Evans denied Kyle Wootton a third goal against Walsall in 10 days with an impressive reaction stop to thwart the striker during the second half.
Hinchliffe also thwarted a Williams header with an expert stop in a frantic finish before Walsall’s pressure paid off deep into added time.

Manchester City have been charged by the Football Association with failing to control their players during Sunday’s 3-3 draw with Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League. Several City players surrounded referee Simon Hooper late in the game after he stopped play when Jack Grealish was through on goal for a foul on Erling Haaland in the build-up, having previously waved play-on.
“Manchester City have been charged with a breach of FA Rule E20.1 after their players surrounded the match official during the Premier League fixture against Tottenham Hotspur,” the FA said in a statement on Monday.
“It’s alleged that, during the 94th minute of the fixture, the club failed to ensure their players do not behave in way which is improper.”
City have until Thursday to respond to the charge. They slipped to third in the standings after the draw, three points behind leaders Arsenal and their next fixture sees them travel to face Aston Villa on Wednesday.
