Road to Wembley - Devon cream

Two teams about as far apart in English geography as you can get but the cream rose to the top in Devon as EUNAN O'KANE scored the only goal of the game as our Road to Wembley team League Two Torquay dumped League One Carlisle out of the FA Cup.

The Northern Ireland Under-21 midfielder struck with a thumping right-foot shot after six minutes. Carlisle goalkeeper Adam Collin did well to save twice from Torquay's leading scorer Elliot Benyon.

Scott Bevan was also tested twice by Cumbrians dangerman Francois Zoko and the Torquay goalkeeper palmed away Matt Robson's dipping 25-yard free-kick.

Attendance: 3,005

Torquay manager Paul Buckle was hoping for a big game in the 4th Round but they got drawn at home to giant killers Crawley Town.
