My piece from this morning's paper
Former Sheffield Wednesday youth striker Oliver nodded in Alan Power's 102nd minute corner at the far post to stun Walsall and then nipped in to prod home James Chamber's weak back header with four minutes left.
Midfielder Power had fired the Conference outfit ahead in the 50th minute from fourteen yards.
Walsall midfielder Richard Taundry forced extra time when he drilled in his first goal of the season through a crowded box in the 80th minute.
Jamie Paterson scored a deflected injury time consolation for the Saddlers.
Walsall manager Dean Smith was disappointed after seeing his team
dumped out of the Cup and said:
"I've told the players not to feel sorry for themselves. They raised expectations with some good early season results and with that comes added pressure. We've got to get back to those levels.
We looked very nervous in the first half and had a lot of possession, but not a lot of clear cut chances for my liking. We need to turn it round and regroup."
Delighted Imps manager David Holdsworth said:
"I'm very proud of my players and the way they acquitted themselves. I couldn't have asked any more of them. Throughout the game the stood up to the task.
We were at Barrow the other day and they played at Swindon and so there's a big gap, but we closed it."
