Wembley way! Kidderminster Harriers are giant-killers after FA Cup win

Their dramatic 3-2 victory in a third round replay last night has set up a trip to Premier League giants Sunderland in the fourth round on January 25.

Striker Joe Lolley, in what was expected to be his final game for Harriers before a £250,000 move to Huddersfield Town, was the hero as he netted a superb winner 14 minutes from time.

And manager Andy Thorn, who only celebrates his first week in charge of Harriers today, said he could not be prouder of his players.

"It was a great game, this a fantastic competition and it was a real proper cup tie," he said.

"I could not be more proud of the players in the way they responded and the way they are working for us. The supporters were fantastic and the players deserve an enormous amount of credit."

A shock looked unlikely at half-time as Harriers, who drew 0-0 with Peterborough at Aggborough earlier this month, trailed to Tommy Rowe's opener at the London Road stadium.

But backed by a vociferous following of more than 500 away fans, they stunned the hosts with two goals in the opening six minutes of the second half courtesy of Michael Gash and Jack Byrne.

And though Britt Assombalonga pulled it back to 2-2 from the penalty spot, Lolley won it when he beat home keeper Bobby Olejnik with a cracker from 25 yards out – sending the fans wild.

Thorn, who was appointed manager last Wednesday following the surprise sacking of Steve Burr, has now won both games in charge so far and admitted he could not have dreamed last night's success.

"You can dream about these moments but that is the magic of the cup," said the boss, who won the FA?Cup as a player with Wimbledon in 1988.

"I have been here five days now and we have had two games, two victories but this surpasses a hell of a lot.

"I didn't think we were lucky. We got our gameplan spot on. Even at 1-0 we felt we were in at and as I said we thought if we could get a chance and take it we were right in the game.

This is now the furthest Harriers have progressed in the FA Cup since 1994, when they famously beat Birmingham City and Preston before being knocked out by West Ham in the fifth round.
