Gillingham have been handed another home tie against League 2 newcomers Burton Albion in the second round of the FA Cup later this month.

It gives Mark Stimson's side a great chance of reaching the third round for the second successive year, and is the perfect reward for knocking out Southend 3-0 at Priestfield on Saturday.

Burton struggled to overcame Southern League Premier Division Oxford City 3-2 on Sunday, before Ryan Austin scored the winner in the sixth minute of stoppage-time.

The tie is due to be played on Saturday November 28.
