Two goals from Aaron Taylor helped Morecambe to an FA Cup second round victory over Grimsby Town.

Morecambe had already hit the post before the 18-year-old striker scored his first from close range in first-half injury time.

In the second half Grimsby's Adam Proudlock hit the bar before Taylor tapped in his second.

Robbie Stockdale's volleyed strike for Grimsby ensured a nervous finish for the home side but they held on.
