Boreham Wood 2 - 2 Notts County: Adam Campbell double saves Notts County from an FA Cup shock at Boreham Wood

Posted Monday, November 07, 2016 by PA

Adam Campbell saved Notts County from an FA Cup shock with a second-half double as non-league Boreham Wood squandered a two-goal lead to draw 2-2.

Half-time substitute Campbell curled in a 20-yard strike before heading home a Carl Dickinson corner with seven minutes to spare to earn a first-round replay.

National League side Boreham had looked set to upset the former winners when Morgan Ferrier and Angelo Balanta gave them a two-goal advantage.

Former Arsenal and Crystal Palace youngster Ferrier latched onto a Balanta through ball to slide the Wood towards an upset after 31 minutes, the striker's eighth goal in as many games.

The Wood thought they had beaten a Football League side for the first time in 68 years when ex-QPR speedster Balanta cleverly controlled and fired home a Bruno Andrade centre to double the lead five minutes after half-time.

But Campbell's double made sure County did not fall at the first round once again, fresh from memories of last season's defeat to Salford City.

His first was a stunning bending strike which nestled into the bottom corner on the hour mark following a Matt Paine blunder, his second an opportunistic bobble at the back post.

The visitors thought they had won it in stoppage time but Vadaine Oliver was adjudged offside.
