Even Nuneaton Borough's graphic couldn't quite believe the score

We've all heard it said that leading 2-0 can be a dangerous scoreline.

Concede, lose concentration and before you know it it's 2-2 and your opponent is in the ascendancy.

A scoreline that's probably not thought of as being quite so tricky is leading 7-2.

Nuneaton Borough's youth team proved that even when you are leading by five goals with 28 minutes to play you should still be wary of a comeback.

In a remarkable FA Youth Cup second round qualifying tie, Halesowen fought back from trailing 4-1 at half-time, 7-2 after an hour and even being 8-6 down after 85 minutes to progress to the next round.

The visitors were still trailing 8-7, with Borough striker Luis Corcoran scoring five times, in injury time.

An Emlyn Tudgay double, however, gave them a scarcely believable win in front of a presumably very entertained crowd of 83 people.
