Should they come through, a long trip to League One side Southampton awaits in the third round.

Ronnie Moore's side came from behind to lead 2-1 on Saturday with goals from Adam Le Fondre and Stephen Brogan, only to be pegged back by a 74th minute equaliser from Hatters substitute Mark Nwokeji.

Moore wasn't happy with the equaliser, saying: "Good sides don't concede goals like that.

"We did the right thing going on and trying to get another goal but we weren't patient enough. We went gung-ho and began chasing it."
