FA Cup - Eastleigh 3-3 FC Halifax Town - Eastleigh earn replay thanks to late leveller

Eastleigh had to fight back from 3-1 down to earn a dramatic 3-3 draw in the FA Cup in new boss Martin Allen's first game as Spitfires manager.

Mikael Mandron had put the hosts 1-0 up in the first half but the visitors came out fighting after the break and scored three goals in the space of just 11 minutes.

Eastleigh pulled a goal back through substitute Scott Wilson who set up an exciting finale when he fired home to make it 3-2 in the 74th minute.

The drama didn't end there as Mandron ensured Eastleigh still had a place in the competition by scoring a late leveller with his second and Eastleigh's third goal of the game to make it 3-3. 

Eastleigh will now travel to Halifax Town for the replay looking to settle the tie on Tuesday 13th December.

The FA Cup 3rd round draw will take place on Monday.
