Cambridge United 1-1 Shrewsbury Town
- Published
Michael Morrison's previous goal in the EFL was scored for Reading in April 2022
Michael Morrison scored his first Cambridge goal in over 16 years as they drew 1-1 with Shrewsbury in League One.
The U's had been frustrated until the 69th minute, when the captain picked the ball up just inside the opposition half and proceeded beyond five challenges before firing past Marko Marosi for a remarkable solo effort.
Morrison's last goal for the club had come on 23 January 2007.
The home side missed a number of chances in a goalless first half. James Brophy was denied by an excellent Tom Flanagan block, before Morrison fired wide when well placed following Ryan Bennett's knockdown.
Seven minutes before half-time Liam Bennett released Fejiri Okenabirhie on the right and the forward squared the ball to Jack Lankester, who crashed his effort onto the crossbar.
Morrison's moment of magic looked to have won the game, only for Shrewsbury to snatch a point two minutes from the end.
The hosts could not clear from within their area, and Taylor Perry slammed an equaliser past Jack Stevens.
