Carlisle United 2-2 Stockport County

Promotion rivals Carlisle United and Stockport County played out a draw that leaves both clubs outside the League Two top three.

But County left it late to salvage a vital point through substitute Connor Evans after Paul Simpson's hosts produced a stirring second-half fightback.

Jon Mellish cancelled out Myles Hippolyte's 31st-minute opener for Dave Challinor's side eight minutes into the second period.

Tomas Holy kept Carlisle in the game with a fine save from Isaac Olaofe before Owen Moxon, whose corner was converted by Mellish, netted with a superb strike in the 83rd minute.

The home cheers were still ringing round Brunton Park when Evans headed in his equaliser three minutes later.

With three games to play the two sides are locked on 72 points, four points outside the top three and only three points above eighth-placed Mansfield.
