A catastrophic moment ended Brantham Athletic's FA Cup dream as they went down 2-1 to Buckhurst Hill in extra time.

The tie, which had finished 1-1 in Essex on Saturday, looked to be heading to penalties after Kian Wilson finished well from a good Ollie Godbold through ball just before half-time in normal time after Manraj Phagura had given the visitors the lead.

The Imps had the chance to go ahead but Tom Lawson was denied from the spot.

It was heartbreak deep into the second half of extra time when keeper Josh Long's clearance was charged down by Owen Betts and went straight into the net.
