Tyrese Shade scores his third as Burton Albion reached the third round of the FA Cup with victory at Brackley Town.

The Saint Kitts and Nevis striker scored a hat-trick to earn the Brewers a third-round tie at Boreham Wood.

The League One outfit overcame a tricky tie against opponents that knocked out Notts County in the first round, and Bowyer singled out the 25-year-old for his performance.

He said: “Tyrese is exciting, he’s got bags of potential. I like watching him play. He's got a swagger that is not an arrogance, but a confidence in his ability.

“He's got the ability to go past people, and we've seen that tonight. I’m delighted for him with his first career hat-trick.

“He's come from the National League and straight into playing a lot of League One football - perhaps more than we thought he would initially.”

Burton took the lead after 13 minutes when Shade picked the ball up and unleashed a fierce drive that was too powerful for Jonny Maxted.

However, Brackley hit back in the 25th minute when Michael Nottingham turned in Kyle Morrison's header following Jack Price’s corner.
