Morecambe 1-1 Gillingham

Morecambe and Gillingham shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw between two sides in the League One relegation places.

Ryan Jackson looked to have earned Gillingham a vital three points with a superb long-range strike on 73 minutes but the home side hit back through Jon Obika with a neat finish seven minutes from time.

A game of high effort but low quality came to life after Gills' substitute Jackson tried his luck from 25 yards out after a swift Gillingham counter-attack, and his effort flew into Trevor Carson's top left corner.

The Shrimps, who had seen an Arthur Gnahoua effort hit the crossbar in the first half, flung bodies forward and were rewarded with a fine strike from Obika from the right hand side of the area.

Obika then went close to winning the game in the 90th minute when he forced Aaron Chapman into a superb save, to ensure a point for Neil Harris's improving side.
