Plymouth Parkway are through to the second round of the FA Cup for the first time in their history. Rocky Neal scored twice from the penalty spot, the second in extra time, as the Southern League Premier Division South side came from behind to beat Berkhamsted 2-1 at a sold-out Bolitho Park on Monday night.

It was the last tie of the first round, and the draw for the next one had already been made before kick-off, so both sets of players knew the prize from the 7.30pm kick-off. Parkway's reward is a home tie with Barnet, second in League Two, over the first weekend of December.

Both clubs were playing in the first round proper for the first time, and both play in the seventh tier. Parkway, formed in 1988, went into the game fourth in the division, 11 points above Berkhamsted in 12th. It was the visitors who started the brighter, and Ryan Brett had to head a Jeanmal Prosper header off the Parkway line from a corner in the fourth minute.

Reece Thomson curled over for Parkway after a fine passing move between Neal and Rio Garside, and Max Rosner went close with a header for Berkhamsted as the interval loomed, but it was a nervy first half with few chances.

Berkhamsted were ahead 98 seconds after the restart. JJ Lacey's perfectly weighted ball put Luke Andrews through, and he slotted a left-footed shot across the goalkeeper and in off the far post. The goal forced Parkway up a gear. Thomson hit the post within minutes and Calum Hall had a goalbound shot deflected over.

Ryan Blake fizzed a shot just wide for Berkhamsted in the 71st minute, and then the tie turned. Goalkeeper Hubert Graczyk jumped to punch a Thomson shot that had spun up off a defender and was judged by referee Ross Martin to have fouled Neal. BBC Sport's reporter called it harsh: the keeper got the ball. Neal, the club's top scorer, slammed the kick into the roof of the net on 73 minutes.

Thomson missed two good chances to win it in stoppage time, and the game went to extra time. With Blake and Andrews taken off, Berkhamsted could create little, and Parkway began to dominate. Ed Palmer's side-footed volley from a corner cleared the bar before Mikey Williams broke into the box and had his shirt pulled by substitute Godlove Oppong.

There was far less argument about the second penalty. Neal, who joined Parkway from Truro City in the summer of 2025, had put his first down the middle. He curled the second into the right side of the goal in stoppage time at the end of the first period of extra time, and Bolitho Park went wild.

Berkhamsted head coach Chris Devane was booked moments later. Rosner curled their best chance of an equaliser wide from the edge of the box with five minutes left, and the final whistle brought a pitch invasion. Parkway finished with 58 per cent of the ball and 18 shots to Berkhamsted's 14, but only two of them on target. Both were penalties.

Parkway manager Karl Curtis told BBC Sport it was pure relief, and that his side had needed a plan B after Berkhamsted started better. Devane said he was gutted and disappointed with the decisions, the first above all, because he felt his side were in control when it was given.

Parkway now have a League club coming to Plymouth, and two hours of football behind them that their supporters will not forget. Berkhamsted go home with a grievance and the memory of a cup run that ended in the first round proper.

Manchester United will not rush a decision on Michael Carrick's future, Sky Sports News reports. The club's hierarchy will use the international break to review the season after Sunday's 4-4 draw with Aston Villa left United in the relegation zone. They have one win in 11 games and 30 goals conceded in all competitions. Carrick and his staff are due back at Carrington today.

Manchester United have a 22 per cent chance of going down, according to Opta's supercomputer projections after 10 games, BBC Sport reports. Seven sides are rated more likely to be relegated, with Sunderland on 40 per cent, newcomers Coventry City on 42 and bottom club Crystal Palace on 50. The same model makes Arsenal big favourites for the title.

Crystal Palace are bottom after 10 games, but history says it is far from over, BBC Sport reports. Fourteen sides have stayed up after being bottom at this stage, most recently Wolves in 2024-25. Only Bolton, in 2002-03, have been bottom with more than Palace's seven points, and 37 of the 88 teams with seven or fewer after 10 games survived.

Tottenham are set to submit a formal complaint after Leeds defender Jayden Bogle escaped punishment for a challenge on Mathys Tel that looked like a red card, BBC Sport reports. After a lengthy VAR check no further action was taken, and Leeds went on to win the game 1-0.

Brentford boss Keith Andrews called Igor Thiago's sending-off against Brighton a "sad indictment of where the game is going", BBC Sport reports. The striker was first shown a yellow card for a 23rd-minute clash with Chema Andres, but the video assistant referee sent Michael Oliver to the pitchside monitor and the card was upgraded to red.

Two close refereeing decisions went against Chelsea in their 1-0 defeat at Sunderland, BBC Sport reports. A foul on Cole Palmer by Luke O'Nien was ruled to be outside the area, and Brian Brobbey won the penalty that Enzo Le Fee scored. Xabi Alonso refused to blame the officials: "It is something that is our fault. We could have done better."

Former referee Darren Cann says Arsenal should have been given a penalty in their 1-0 win over Hull City, BBC Sport reports. Nobel Mendy pulled Kai Havertz's shirt in the box. Referee Farai Hallam went to the pitchside monitor and told the crowd Havertz had been fouled, but gave no penalty because he had been offside. Cann said that under the law the decision was wrong.
