Carlisle United are through to the League Two play-off final after a dramatic extra-time victory over Bradford City at Brunton Park.

Paul Simpson's side were 1-0 down after the first leg, but levelled the tie thanks to a first-half own goal from Brad Halliday.

Callum Guy then struck in 98th minute to edge the Cumbrians ahead, but veteran striker Matt Derbyshire hit back for the visitors in the second-half of extra-time.

With penalties looming, Stockport loanee Ben Barclay - who won't be able to play in the final - then got a crucial touch to an Owen Moxon cross to send the home fans wild.

Stockport County needed spot-kicks to book their place in the final earlier today.

The final kicks-off at 1:30pm on Sunday 28 May.
