Blackpool 3-2 Solihull Moors
Image source, Getty ImagesBlackpool beat non-league side Solihull Moors in extra time to set up a home FA Cup third-round tie against Arsenal.
After a goalless draw in the original tie, the hosts took a 10th-minute lead through Armand Gnanduillet's volley. Joe Dodoo steered in a second, but Adi Yussuf pulled one back, glancing in a header from Jamey Osborne's long throw.
Yussuf scored from the spot to make it 2-2 and Osborne hit a post, but Jay Spearing converted a penalty in the 105th minute to send Blackpool through. The away players were furious with that penalty decision given by referee Andy Haines, after he penalised Osborne's high foot against Gnanduillet.
Solihull Moors, managed by ex-England goalkeeper Tim Flowers, are fifth in the National League - two tiers and 45 places below League One side Blackpool.
For the Seasiders, it will now be the second time they will have faced Arsenal this season after losing 2-1 at Emirates Stadium in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup in October.

Blackpool manager Terry McPhillips told BT Sport: "They have given us two of the hardest games we've had this season. Full credit to them they are a good side, and I fancy them to go up in the league.
"Our lads showed great spirit, we know they can play better but they put their bodies on the line."

Blackpool's Jay Spearing, who scored the winner, told BT Sport: "That was a proper FA Cup game. they've come here, gave a great account of themselves, but we got ourselves through and now have Arsenal."
On the penalty he conceded and the winning penalty he later scored, he said: "I felt I took the ball and he has come through kicked me and gone down. But we dug in and I was confident enough to take the penalty. I have been practicing penalties and knew I could put it into the back of the net.
"We've been working hard and Arsenal will be a bit unhappy with this pitch, it is not like the Emirates."

Blackpool hanging on, defending deep and in numbers.

Blackpool's Curtis Tilt is one lucky, lucky man. He barges Luke Maxwell off the ball, in the penalty area. Solihull want a penalty. Not given.

An almighty scramble. Blackpool hang on. Solihull have 10 minutes to get a goal to take it to penalties.

Ross Quinn: Gnanduillet clearly dives into Osbourne there. It's not a high foot if the opponent jumps into someone kicking the ball. Disgusting.
John Dunstan: Wow, possibly an even worse decision against @SolihullMoors, external than that ridiculous offside in the first leg.

That was our last action of the first half of extra-time. We have 15 minutes left and Blackpool lead through that controversial penalty.
Jay Spearing (Blackpool, penalty)
A well-taken penalty. Solihull goalkeeper Ryan Boot guesses the right way, but Jay Spearing drills it into the bottom corner and Blackpool lead again.

A change for Solihull as Jamie Reckord is done and on comes George Carline.
Blackpool get us under way in the first half of extra-time. Thirty more minutes. A penalty shoot -out if we're still level.
We've already had one shoot-out tonight, as Manchester City have just beaten Leicester 3-1 on spot kicks after it finished 1-1 to move into the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup.
Follow all the reaction to that, as well as Burton Albion's shock win over Middlesbrough here.
