Brentford 0-1 Notts County: Jon Stead rolls back with moment of magic to cause FA Cup shock

Who says that the romance of the FA Cup is dead? The world’s oldest professional club are through to the next round of the world’s oldest cup competition thanks to one of their elder statesmen. Jon Stead was Notts County’s hero as his moment of quality proved the difference at Brentford to continue his run of scoring in every round of the FA Cup this season. He may be 34, and now playing in League Two, but this is a marksman who graced the Premier League for several years in his prime. At Griffin Park he produced a vintage display from those days in the top flight.
