Carlow's Padraig Amond says he is hungry for more F-A Cup glory after handing Newport County a famous win over Leicester City.

The Welsh minnows will go into this evening's fourth round draw, after beating the 2016 Premier League winners 2-1 at Rodney Parade.

Amond scored the winner with an 85th minute penalty.

Newport manager Mike Flynn had few doubts the former Shamrock Rovers and Sligo striker would hit the back of the net.
