Ebbsfleet United's FA Cup goalscoring hero Kezie Ibe is confident they can cause an upset in the first round of the competition.

Ibe scored the winner in Wednesday's fourth qualifying round replay against Woking to set up a trip to League One's bottom side Crewe Alexandra.

Ibe told BBC Radio Kent: "I'm delighted to be in the first round.

"We can go there and relax and enjoy the day and we've got every chance of beating them."

Fleet had been on a poor run of form themselves but Ibe added: "We've now got that win that we needed. After four defeats the morale was down but we've picked it up again.

Alex manager Liam Daish is relishing the tie, at Gresty Road on 8 November.

Daish explained: "We can go there and we'll be the underdogs but the players will be up for it.

"It's something new for the club since I've been here.

"Again we've done it the hard way but we've done it in the end and we'll enjoy it and have a go at it."
