City battle back to grab amazing draw

WORCESTER City hit back from 3-0 down to snatch an injury-time draw in the Blue Square North clash with Tamworth at St George's Lane.

Richard Dryden's men looked dead and buried when Colin Marrison stepped up to convert a 68th-minute penalty to give Tamworth a 3-0 lead.

But, not for the first time this season, City dug deep and substitute Troy Wood grabbed the equaliser in the fourth minute of time added on.

It was a sweet moment for Dryden against his former club and gave the home crowd of 826 something to savour from a match that had offered little else for the majority of the time.

Goals in the ninth and 10th minutes had given Tamworth a glorious start and Jake Sheridan was the player who added the finishing touches.

But after Marrison's penalty, Ryan Clarke gave Worcester hope with goals in the 80th and 89th minutes and Wood completed an amazing comeback in injury-time.

Hereford United kept themselves in the League Two automatic promotion places thanks to an own goal by Wycombe Wanderers' Russell Martin in a 1-0 win at Edgar Street.
