The shootout came after the sides managed a 2-2 draw in normal time.

The Gulls had looked to be slipping to a 2-0 defeat until two goals in the final seven minutes.

Youngster Ashley Yeoman got their first after 83 minutes from a Mustapha Carayol cross, with Carayol netting the equaliser soon after.
