Worcester boss Richard Dryden masterminded the shock win

Worcester City caused an FA Trophy shock at St George's Lane as they ran out deserved 3-1 winners over Grays.

The home side went in front on 16 minutes when Rob Elvins headed home Graham Ward's corner.

Grays levelled six minutes later when City goalkeeper Jake Meredith fumbled the ball over his own line.

Alfie Carter restored City's lead before the interval and then Craig Wilding wrapped up the win with a free-kick in the last minute of the game.

Worcester City manager Richard Dryden told BBC Hereford & Worcester:

"After going 1-0 up we were obviously disappointed to concede the goal but we got straight back on to it.

"Coming in 2-1 up at half-time we had to try and keep the foot on the gas but they pinned us back a lot in the second half.

"But it was still a very good performance defensively and we probably deserved to come off the pitch the winners by two clear goals."
