Albion exited the Birmingham County FA Senior Cup at the quarter-final stage after a 3-2 defeat to Redditch United.

Despite Alex Cameron’s early opener, Eseosa Sule’s double looked to have turned the game around for the Baggies.

They conceded twice during the final stages, though, via Liam Loughlan and Tyler Bruck, sending them out of this year’s competition.

The hosts went one-up inside 13 minutes when Cameron side-footed home from inside the area.

But Albion were level quickly, with Torin Ntege teeing-up Sule - who beat his man and fired in via the post.

And Sule secured his - and Albion’s - second just before half-time. The striker skilfully won a penalty and dusted himself down to convert, giving the away side an advantage at the interval.

However, Redditch put the Baggies under pressure for lots of the second period and equalised in the 84th-minute through Loughlan’s spot-kick.

They then won it as Bruck pounced to secure United a comeback victory, sending them into the last four.

Albion: Onkonkwo, Nelson, Abudu, DuPont, Maughan, Crowther (Blackshields 60), Colesby, Mandey, Bray (Ranger 73), Sule (French 60), Ntege.
