Salisbury romp through in the FA Cup

Salisbury are through the third qualifying round of the FA Cup after a comfortable 5-0 victory away at Mousehole AFC.

Two goals from Noah Coppin with contributions from Tom Leggett, Josh Sommerton, as well as an own-goal, gave a comfortable win to the travelling Whites.

Salisbury started quickly, with Tom Leggett opening the scoring after just five minutes, stroking home after good work down the left and a low cross.

Noah Coppin grabbed his first of the game just seven minutes later, hammering the ball low past the keeper from just inside the box.

Salisbury were comfortable for most of the first half, with Josh Gould in the White's goal rarely called on to do too much work and they led 2-0 at halftime.

The game was put beyond doubt on '57 minutes when Salisbury grabbed their third. Great pressure high up the pitch from Dan Fitchett saw Mousehole put the ball in the back of their own net (although the home announcer and some supporters credit Fitchett with the goal, the Salisbury commentary team called it as an own goal).

Salisbury kept up the pressure, pressing high and added a fourth on 74 minutes - Noah Coppin grabbing his second brace in two games.

Brian Dutton's side wrapped things up in the dying moments as Josh Sommerton capped a good performance with a goal to make it five.

Salisbury will find out their next opponents on Monday when the draw for the third qualifying round is revealed, with that tie to be played the weekend of Saturday, 30th September.
