FOOTBALL Northwich Victoria's Wayne Riley celebrates after scoring the winning goal against Charlton Athletic - 0

An 81st minute goal from Wayne Riley (pictured) gave the hosts - who are in administration - the biggest surprise win of the weekend against a club who were in the Premier League just a handful of seasons ago.

In Saturday's games, minor league clubs Bath City, Staines Town and Kettering all produced shock away wins.

Bath defeated League Two (fourth division) Grimsby Town 2-0, Staines knocked out Shrewsbury 1-0 and Kettering were 1-0 winners at League One Hartlepool.

Luton Town, the 1959 FA Cup finalists but now playing outside the Football League after relegation last season, blew a great chance to beat League Two Rochdale. They led 3-0 at halftime but ended up drawing 3-3.

Brighton and Hove Albion, who also reached the final of the world's most famous knockout competition, drew 4-4 with Wycombe.

League One side Norwich City were the day's big winners, hammering tiny Paulton 7-0.
