Former Duke star Mike Grella scored two goals in overtime to help Coca-Cola League One (third level) leader Leeds to a 5-1 win over non-league Kettering Town and set up a date with Manchester United in the third round of the English FA Cup.

The goals were part of four goals in 11 minutes in the second additional period and give Grella three in three FA Cup games.

An estimated $1.2 million was riding on the line for the outcome -- including the share of gate receipts for the January match at Manchester United's Old Trafford.

Leeds and Man. United have not met in six years.
