Newport County are celebrating a 2-1 victory for their FA Cup match against Leeds United at Rodney.

Leeds were reduced to 10 men when substitute Samuel Saiz was sent off in an off-the-ball incident.

But Leeds almost scored within 10 seconds when Jay-Roy Grot latched onto Hadi Sacko's knockdown.

Joe Day distinguished himself on that occasion, but the Newport goalkeeper had no answer to Berardi's long-range strike - deflection or not.

Newport, however, refused to be knocked out of their stride by that early setback, proof of how far League Two County have come under manager Mike Flynn.

Newport won the match with a ninetieth minute goal.

They'll be heading to the fourth round of the FA Cup for the first time since 1979.
