“Against the run of play and a man down, Tom Dryer converts from a corner to give Leatherhead a stunning late lead.”
Pivotal
Leatherhead
Hanworth Villa
Hanworth Villa dominated this FA Cup tie by almost every measure, piling up 58% possession, nine corners to two, and 43 dangerous attacks compared to Leatherhead's 28, yet they have nothing to show for it. The visitors' profligacy was best summed up by Michael Harding's missed penalty just after the hour mark, a moment that should have put them ahead but instead let Leatherhead off the hook. Things got tougher for the hosts five minutes later when Elliott Bolton was sent off, leaving them to see out the final quarter of the match with ten men against a side that had already been camped in their half. Remarkably, it was Leatherhead who found the breakthrough, Tom Dryer rising to meet a corner in the 87th minute to steal the game and send the lower-tier underdogs through to the next round.
How entertaining was this match?
