York City reach FA Cup second round with 4-0 win over Northampton Town
Ollie Pearce scored after 10 seconds as York City beat Northampton Town 4-0 to advance to the FA Cup second round.
York City moved into the FA Cup second round with a 4-0 victory over Northampton Town, a match that began in remarkable fashion when Ollie Pearce scored after just 10 seconds following an unusual kick-off routine.
The early strike set the tone for York's afternoon and gave the home side a lead Northampton never recovered from. York added to their advantage over the course of the game to complete a convincing win and secure their place in the next round.
The match was a first-round FA Cup tie, with progression the prize for the winner. York's performance, built on the fastest possible start, ensured there was little suspense about which team would advance.
Full highlights of the first-round tie were made available, though the footage was restricted to viewers in the UK. That limitation applied to the video coverage rather than the result itself.
Northampton's exit leaves them to focus on their league campaign, while York can look ahead to the second-round draw.
No further details, including the timing of York's other goals, were provided in the available report.
