Torquay United 1-1 Boreham Wood

  • Published

Torquay United missed the chance to move five points clear at the top of the National League after being held 1-1 at home by mid-table Boreham Wood.

After Matt Rhead had a shot saved for Wood, Torquay went ahead in the 16th minute when Danny Wright headed home a free-kick.

Wright almost doubled United's lead, heading Ben Wynter's free-kick wide, but they were punished when Wood levelled on the stroke of half-time.

Sorba Thomas's cross took a deflection and looped over goalkeeper Shaun MacDonald.

Rhead missed another chance for Wood, shooting wide when well placed, while Nathan Ashmore kept Torquay at bay with a fine save from Wynter's volley.

The Gulls, whose lead was cut to three points, were forced to play the final 18 minutes with 10 men after Adam Randell was shown a second yellow card.
