And it was on the cards when Lions took the lead with centre-back Jake Cooper nodding in at the back post from Ben Marshall's cross.

But the game took a dramatic turn when Waghorn netted twice inside three minutes.

The forward grabbed his first by prodding in at the end of chaotic goalmouth scramble.

And he put Town ahead by pouncing on a poor backpass from Cooper to round keeper Jordan Archer and tap into an empty net.
