Jersey Bulls: Walton and Hersham score three late goals in 4-4 draw
- Published
Jersey Bulls threw away a 4-1 85th-minute lead as they drew 4-4 with Combined Counties Premier League South leaders Walton and Hersham.
Lorne Bickley's 11th-minute opener was cancelled out by Joe Pratley-Jones's penalty three minutes later before Bickley made it 2-1 after 30 minutes.
It was 3-1 after Jonny Le Quesne's 57th-minute effort before a Luke Campbell penalty with 10 minutes left.
But Palace Francis pulled one back before two Eddie Simon goals.
Simon's second came in the fourth minute of stoppage time after he had scored his first in the 89th minute.
The draw keeps the visitors top of the table while Jersey Bulls are now sixth, 14 points off the leaders with four games in hand.
"We dominated the game and did everything we asked of the players for 85 minutes, and then for last five they got a goal and we haven't managed it very well," Bulls manager Gary Freeman told BBC Radio Jersey.
"We've got to learn the lessons, and what's happening with us in this league at the minute is there's some harsh lessons we're learning in these games with late goals and managing games, and we've got to manage a game better than that.
"Going forward if we play like that for most of the games we'll be alright and that's what we've got to aim to do now."
