Stockport 3-1 Charlton: County set up FA Cup third-round tie with Walsall after upsetting League One Addicks
Stockport beat Charlton 3-1 to set up FA Cup third-round clash with Walsall thanks to hat-trick from Will Collar; Akil Wright own goal gives Addicks early lead before their League Two hosts' comeback
Thursday 8 December 2022 08:32, UK
A hat-trick from Will Collar earned League Two Stockport a deserved 3-1 FA Cup second-round replay victory against managerless Charlton.
The League One Addicks, who sacked boss Ben Garner on Monday, were well beaten in the end as County came from behind to book a home third-round tie against fellow fourth-tier side Walsall.
An unfortunate own goal handed Charlton a seventh-minute lead. Stockport goalkeeper Ben Hinchliffe punched Charlie Kirk's corner against Akil Wright and the ball rebounded off the defender before trickling into the net.
Richard Chin almost made it 2-0 but County levelled in the 25th minute when midfielder Collar mopped up a rebound after Ryan Rydel's strike had thumped a post.
Collar then shot straight at goalkeeper Craig MacGillivray from a great position inside the Charlton box as the teams went in level at the break.
