Notts County came from behind to avoid an FA Cup upset as they beat Alfreton 5-1.
Alassana Jatta and Jevani Brown both scored twice in the second half as County progressed to round two despite Liam Waldock giving the visitors an early lead at Meadow Lane.
Jake Day missed an early chance for the National League North side when his volley was held by Alex Bass.
The away side took a 14th-minute lead when Day found Waldock, who fired home.
County levelled two minutes later as a long-range effort from Matty Platt found the bottom corner.
The League Two side took the lead early in the second half when Brown fired across for Jatta to score.
The two combined once more in the 62nd minute when Jatta slid the ball beneath George Willis to net his second.
Brown converted from the penalty spot with five minutes remaining after Ryley Reynolds was fouled in the box and completed his brace in the closing stages after Kellan Gordon’s shot was saved and deflected into his path.
