Morecambe 2-1 Salford City

  • Published

Morecambe scored two injury-time goals to steal all three points from a thrilling 2-1 League Two victory against promotion rivals Salford.

The visitors looked set to take maximum points home when Brandon Thomas-Asante gave the Ammies the lead on the stroke of half-time with a shot from the edge of the area that squirmed through Kyle Letheren's grasp.

Despite some neat football, the second half saw few chances until the 80th minute when Cole Stockton wasted a glorious opportunity and Carlos Mendes Gomes missed the target with a close-range volley before the game came to life at the death.

Morecambe levelled in the fourth minute of stoppage-time when Mendes Gomes scored from close range after Yann Songo'o headed against the bar.

The hosts then sealed a remarkable comeback in the 96th minute when Toumani Diaguraga's long-range shot was turned into the net by Aaron Wildig from close range.

The drama did not end there as Salford thought they had scored a leveller seven minutes into injury time but the referee blew for a foul in the build-up.
