Match Report: Ashton United 2-2 Workington

An injury time header from defender Sean Newton rescued a point for the hosts after Workington had threatened to inflict a league double on the Robins.

Newton headed home Bernardo Couto's deep corner at the far post 2 minutes into added time after the visitors had moved ahead for the second time with ten minutes left.

Newton himself could have opened the scoring after a quarter of an hour as he headed another Couto delivery against the post with Jake Charles firing the rebound over the top. On 25 minutes Luke Burke strode forward and saw his deflected effort hit the same post before Jason Gilchrist's header was fisted away by James Atkinson but 8 minutes before the interval Workington moved ahead as a good move through midfield saw the ball reach Kitt Nelson who stepped inside before sliding home a neat finish.

The hosts were level within 2 minutes as Luke Burke's right wing cross found Charles connecting with a right foot volley which saw the ball roll into the bottom corner, the goal being confirmed after the referee had consulted one of his assistants. Gilchrist then saw a flick header from Nathan Lowe's cross held and Lowe fired a subsequent effort across the goalmouth before Gilchrist's touch from James Hardy's cross brought a fine save out of James Atkinson.

The second half was a calmer affair with few clear chances until David Symington collected a crossfield pass and stepped outside Mitchell Rose before firing home a left foot effort off the far post. Entering added time Charles'shot deflected narrowly wide of the right hand post and it seemed that Ashton could be heading for their first home defeat since October until they rescued the matter in the closing moments.
