Westley lauds team spirit
Graham Westley hailed his side`s never-say-die attitude as they snatched a 95th-minute equaliser before seeing off MK Dons 7-6 on penalties in their FA Cup first-round replay.
Westley`s men were just 90 seconds away from going out of the competition due to Lewis Guy's 49th-minute strike, but Darius Charles popped up deep into injury time to send the game into extra time.
And, after a goalless additional period, Mathais Doumbe missed the vital penalty in the shootout to hand npower League Two Boro a memorable triumph at stadiummk.
Westley said: "I'm delighted for the lads, they have worked so hard over 210 minutes of football and then shown great courage under pressure in the penalties. They've earned their way through.
"I'd be lying if I said it didn't cross my mind that we were going out but never do you give up. I thought we showed great composure in those final minutes to build the period of pressure that led to the goal.
"There's no way anyone could deny us the draw - I don't think anyone could have complained if we had won it over 90 minutes. There was complete dominance from us in the first half - we had several good goalscoring opportunities and we hit the post twice."
