Dagenham dumped League One side Hereford out of the FA Cup with a narrow victory at Victoria Road.

The hosts were the better team in the first half and took a deserved lead when Paul Benson headed Sam Saunders' cross home after 17 minutes.

Solomon Taiwo volleyed home from 30 yards to give the League Two side a 2-0 lead on 33 minutes.

Hereford pulled one back straight away through Kris Taylor's strike but Dagenham deservedly held on.
