Manish Bhasin introduces all the goals and major talking points from the weekend’s second-round ties, featuring six non-league teams with home advantage against EFL opponents.

Eastleigh were also looking to bridge a two-division gap when they hosted Reading, while eighth-tier Ramsgate were vying for a giant-killing win away to AFC Wimbledon – with the potential reward of a third-round tie against Premier League opposition.
