Hartlepool United were held to a 2-2 draw at Victoria Park by League One Wycombe Wanderers in the FA Cup on Saturday afternoon.

Pools twice led through Mark Cullen and Luke Molyneux only for a Chris Forino header and Joe Jacobson penalty see The Chairboys force a first round replay.

The draw does mean Pools are still in the hat for Monday night’s second round draw.

Plenty of stoppages from Wycombe so far - only 31-minutes played

30: Ferguson’s low ball into the box is clipped over by Cullen

First decent chance for the Pools number 9.

A good interchange with Ogle and Molyneux sees the latter play a ball into the box which whistles just wide of the left post.

17: Stoppage in play as Wycombe’s Dominic Gape requires treatment on the field

12: Great ball in by Cullen as Holohan turns just wide on the volley from close range

Cullen plays a wonderfully weighted ball from the right corner of the box which is right on Holohan’s foot but the Irish midfielder’s volley goes just wide. The flag is offside anyway.
