Eastleigh and Newport County fought it out in Tuesday’s FA Cup replay to meet Manchester United in the fourth round.
Graham Coughlan’s side took an early first-half lead against their non-league hosts before Paul McCallum’s thunderbolt levelled things up.
But James Clarke struck back just 12 minutes later for the Ironsides with a strike which set them on their way to a high-profile home tie against the Red Devils.
Newport previously reached the fourth round in 2018/19, when they dumped Leicester and Middlesbrough out before themselves exiting to Manchester City.
