City put to the test in FA Cup draw

Exeter City made it through to the Second Round of the FA Cup in the most dramatic fashion, as they came from behind twice to beat Barnet 5-3.

Josh Magennis, not content with just getting his first St James Park goal, netted a hat-trick, while Jay Bird and Kamari Doyle scored late into stoppage time to put the Grecians through.

After a dominant start to the game, City opened the scoring with Magennis' first home goal when he was released on the edge of the box in the 13th minute.

However, National League Barnet never seemed too far out of the tie and equalised six minutes before the break.

The Bees then edged ahead with a low strike just before the hour mark, only for Demetri Mitchell to be brought down in the box upon his SJP return, allowing Magennis to double his tally from the penalty spot.

Just minutes later, Nicke Kabamba restored Barnet’s lead, but Magennis answered yet again from the spot for his hat-trick, setting up a thrilling finish.

In nine minutes of added time, the Big Bank erupted as Bird scored his first goal at SJP to give City the lead, before Doyle capped off the evening with a goal into an empty net in the 101st minute, sealing an unforgettable FA Cup victory.
