Maidstone United 2-1 Barrow: Non-league side reach third round for first time
National League South side Maidstone came from behind to stun League Two high-fliers Barrow 2-1 in the FA Cup.
A total of 46 places in the league pyramid separate the two sides, but Maidstone made it through to the third round draw thanks to Bivesh Gurung's superb 74th minute winner.
Barrow threatened in the opening minute when Elliot Newby fired narrowly over the top and the visitors opened the scoring after 20 minutes when Ben Whitfield tapped home, after the Maidstone defence failed to clear Emile Acquah's flick towards goal.
The Kent side levelled soon after when Sam Corne pounced on a loose ball in the box before drilling past Barrow goalkeeper Paul Farman.
Paul Appiah was inches away from adding a second for Maidstone just before the break.
Barrow threatened first in the second half when substitute Sam Foley volleyed off target following Whitfield's pass.
However, Gurung smashed home from 20 yards to hand the hosts a shock win and a first place in the third round since their reformation in 1992.
