In September 2022 which team overtook Spurs to be the all time record goal scorers in the FA Cup?

Assume it's a non League team since the FA Cup proper doesn't start until November.

Dulwich Hamlet ?

 

[SuspectUsual]

If it happened in September it isn’t a premier league or championship team (round 3, January) or league 1/2 team (round 1 normally November). Most likely a good non-league team as they have to play more qualifying rounds.

Yeovil?

 

[MotCO]

Accrington Stanley?

Sorry not Dulwich, Yeovil or Accrington but you are all going in the right direction!
