“It was job done,” nodded the satisfied Shrimps boss Derek Adams. “We got off to the perfect start.”

Adams, though, was impressed with the effort and attitude of the non-league hosts.

“Worthing came into it and they have nothing to lose,” he said.

“That’s the beauty of the FA Cup. You saw the shocks that happened today and that will happen. They went at us and we dealt with it.

“We’re through to the next round, but Worthing were excellent.

“It’s not easy in the cup. It’s not easy coming to an astroturf pitch or to come away to a non-league side with an atmosphere as it was.

“We know people are looking at fixtures where there could be a shock, but we’re not one of the teams that has been shocked. There are many teams in the FA Cup today who have been shocked.
