FA Cup first round: Carlisle United and Gateshead provide shocks

Burnley striker Michael Mellon, on loan from Oldham Athletic, led his father Mickey’s side into the second round with a hat-trick against Northampton Town at Boundary Park.

Mellon scored twice in the first six minutes, including a stunning overhead kick, against the Cobblers, who are 26 places ahead of them in the league standings, and added another before Cameron McGeehan scored a honour.

Stevenage were also dropped from the top flight in League One when Lee Bonis scored a penalty for Chesterfield, who are seventh in League Two.

Another Third Division club looking to be promoted also came in handy as Lincoln City were beaten on penalties by Salford City.

Kelly Nmayi scored an extra-time equalizer for Salford, then goalkeeper Mark Howard saved from Conor McGrandles to seal the win on penalties.

Steve Cotterill’s renaissance continues at Cheltenham Town with Isaac Hutchinson’s early header taking the League Two club past Bradford competing for automatic promotion into League One.

Since returning to the club in late September, the Robins have lost just once in seven matches in all competitions.

Swindon Town were one of five surprises in the Premier League with a 2-1 win away to Rotherham United after extra time, although Aaron Drennan was sent off for punching Dan Gore.

Darren Oldacre tied the game late in the extra period.
