Northampton Town 1-1 Stevenage

Jamie Reid scored a late equaliser as Stevenage fought back to draw at promotion rivals Northampton.

Louis Appéré gave the second-placed Cobblers an early lead, but Stevenage laid siege to the home goal for much of the second half and deservedly came away with a point as both teams remain in the top three.

Northampton started on the front foot and were rewarded with the opening goal after just five minutes when Stevenage failed to clear Mitch Pinnock's long throw and Appéré forced the ball home from close-range.

Pinnock blasted a shot straight into a Stevenage defender and Appéré's glancing header drifted just wide as the home side pushed for a second goal.

The visitors grew into the game but struggled to create chances in the first half, with Carl Piergianni going closest when his header from a corner landed wide of the far post.

Stevenage cranked up the pressure in the second half, with Lee Burge denying Max Clark and Luke Norris before Dan Sweeney volleyed just over.

Danny Rose also hit the crossbar before Stevenage claimed a deserved draw 18 minutes from time when Reid's 20-yard shot hit both posts before going in.
