The magic of the FA Cup was on display for all to see at Leyton Orient on Saturday as our on-loan goalkeeper Josh Keeley dramatically scored a 99th-minute goal to keep the O’s in the competition.
With the League One side trailing 1-0 at home to National League Oldham Athletic, Josh went up for a last-gasp free-kick and sensationally sent a superb header into the net to make it 1-1, taking the second-round tie to extra time.

He continued to play his part at the other end during the additional 30 minutes, with fellow loanee Jamie Donley – on as a 72nd-minute substitute – also in the thick of the action, winning a penalty to give his side a chance to win it, only for Dan Agyei to put it wide.
But in stoppage time at the end of extra time and with a penalty shootout looming, Agyei found the net to send the hosts through to Monday’s third-round draw with a 2-1 victory.
