Cambridge twice came from behind to salvage a hard-earned League One point against Burton.

Albion got off to an ideal start when Gassan Ahadme was brought down in the area by Jubril Okedina after 21 seconds, and the striker picked himself up to score the resulting penalty, despite Dimitar Mitov in the Cambridge goal getting a decent hand to the ball.

The visitors battled their way back level after 25 minutes, Harvey Knibbs hooking the ball in when James Brophy's cross was headed into his path.

With the game in the balance early in the second half it was Albion who seized control again just after the hour mark, William Kokolo grabbing his first senior goal with a low drive through a crowded area as Cambridge failed to clear a Joe Powell corner.

Cambridge responded with another equaliser after 72 minutes, Sam Smith finding the corner of the net in a goalmouth scramble following a corner.
