Andy Williams and Douglas James-Taylor scored twice late in the game as Michael Flynn's men came from behind against Carlisle.

And now the Walsall boss, who has produced a string of cup shocks in the past with Newport County, will get a shot at either League Two or League One opposition.

Athletic, who are in League One, and County, who Walsall have already faced this season, will face each other in a replay next week.

The draw echoes the clash in 2017 when then Championship side Wolves pulled off a stunning 2-1 victory.
