Barrow will also face Premier League opponents in the shape of Sunderland in the third round after defeating Blue Square Premier table-toppers Oxford United.

Barrow and Oxford both knew that a money-spinning, top-flight trip to the Stadium of Light was on offer after a 1-1 draw and it was the former who progressed thanks to a 3-1 win.

Following a previous stalemate, League One strugglers Tranmere knocked fourth-tier play-off hopefuls Aldershot out with a 2-1 win, meaning Wolves will visit Prenton Park in the third round.
