A James Armson penalty deep into extra time has dumped AFC Telford out of the FA Cup away at Nuneaton.

The second half substitute coolly dispatched in the 117th minute to settle a drab fourth qualifying round replay after Wes York had been felled in the box.

Sadly it was no more than they deserved after monopolising the bulk of the chances.

Nuneaton's Tyrell Waite came closest to breaking the deadlock midway through the first half with a fierce drive from the left.

But Ryan Young made the save and Phil Trainer, who missed the first game between the sides due to a one-match ban, cleared off the line.

Trainer, Liam Chilvers and Steven Leslie all went close in a quick burst by Telford midway through the first period of extra time.

And Leslie again blasted wide from the edge of the box midway through the second period.

But Wes York did the same with three minutes to go and with penalties looming he won the decisive spot kick.
