FA Cup: Tranmere Rovers 3-3 Oxford City highlights

Kabongo Tshimanga scored a stunning hat-trick for Oxford City but they were denied a major FA Cup upset by a late James Norwood goal in their draw at Tranmere.

The National League South side fell behind to a first-half Connor Jennings goal but Tshimanga hit back either side of the break to put City in front.

Micky Mellon made changes, bringing on Ben Tollitt and Johnny Smith in pursuit of more attacking width.

Jennings pulled rattled Rovers level 11 minutes from time with a bullet header from an Ollie Banks corner.

Tshimanga had other ideas and netted again four minutes later to seemingly seal a shock win.

But in the final minute of normal time, Norwood stroked home from the edge of the box to clinch a replay and spare the Football League side's blushes.

It was the least the non-league visitors deserved, having played the better attacking football and causing Tranmere's defence all manner of problems.
