Two Rocky Neal penalties helped Plymouth Parkway come from behind to beat Berkhamsted 2-1 in the first round of the FA Cup.

The win sparked wild scenes from fans and a pitch invasion at Bolitho Park.

The clash between the two Southern League Premier Division South teams saw Luke Andrews break the deadlock two minutes into the second half with a cool finish into the far corner to put Berkhamsted ahead.

However, a controversial moment followed as Parkway were awarded a contentious penalty when goalkeeper Hubert Graczyk was adjudged to have caught Neal while punching the ball away and Neal blasted the spot-kick into the roof of the net in the 73rd minute.

With the score locked at 1-1, the game went to extra time where Neal once again struck from the penalty spot in the 105th minute to send Parkway into the second round, where they will meet League Two Barnet.
