Redbridge had led twice, through Daniel Orgel and Scott Kaye, but they were pegged back by a resilient NLR team for whom Jack Roberts and David Cohen registered.

Lewis then put NLR 3-2 before Kane Hopps levelled. With penalties looming, Lewis cracked home a 25-yarder to send NLR through.

NLR boss Dan Shafron said: “Credit to Redbridge, they came with a game-plan and very nearly executed it. They worked incredibly hard, defended well and took their chances when they came.

“We made really hard work of it and were relieved to progress.”
