Slough Town 1-3 Macclesfield: Silkmen progress in FA Cup

After a goalless first half, Macclesfield took the lead. D’Mani Mellor was played through on goal and fouled by Oshilaja in the box who was given a second yellow card and sent off.

Elliott’s spot-kick rebounded off the post and in to send the visitors in front but Slough were handed a lifeline penalty late on when Harvey Walker was fouled in the box and Makowski sent the keeper the wrong way to fire the Rebels level and take it to extra time.

Early into extra time, Edmondson produced a stunning strike from distance to send the ball into the top corner before running into the crowd to celebrate with the 600 travelling fans.

With extra time ticking down, there was a pause in play as Macclesfield defender Brandon Lee was taken off on a stretcher after he appeared to sustain a leg injury, with paramedics entering the field to give him treatment.

The Silkmen added a third in the final moments when a throw down the line found Regan Griffiths, who fired a low shot from the corner of the box past Slough keeper Adam Desbois and into the back of the net.
