This has certainly been a week to remember for three members of the Young family. Yet after Everton’s Ashley was cruelly denied the chance to face his son Tyler against Peterborough, Dagenham & Redbridge’s interim manager Lewis couldn’t quite conjure up an FA Cup shock as a bizarre improvised finish from Mihailo Ivanovic helped Millwall knock out the last non-league team still left standing in this year’s competition.
A trip to face Leeds in the fourth round awaits for Alex Neil and his side after second-half goals from Casper De Norre and the substitute Ra’ess Bangura-Williams on his debut ensured the former Norwich and Sunderland manager picked up a first win since taking over from Neil Harris. But the night still belonged to Dagenham and their supporters, who almost outnumbered a disappointingly low turnout from the home fans and made their presence felt throughout.
