Walsall 1-1 Stevenage: Late Josh Gordon penalty earns point for home side

Highlights of the Sky Bet League Two match between Walsall and Stevenage United.

Josh Gordon climbed off the bench after two months out injured to rescue a point for Walsall with a stoppage-time penalty in a 1-1 draw against Stevenage.

Gordon, out since October with a knee injury, fired his spot-kick straight down the middle off the crossbar to cancel out Aramide Oteh's similarly-struck earlier penalty for the visitors.

Walsall bossed the first half but Wes McDonald wasted their best chance, slicing wide from eight yards after Stevenage keeper Jamie Cumming punched a cross straight to him.

Charlie Carter hit the side-netting for the visitors right on half-time but they led through Oteh in the 50th minute after Emmanuel Osadebe's backpass sold Jack Rose short and the keeper felled Tom Pett.

Cumming made a smart save from Gordon's near-post flick to keep them ahead and Stevenage almost added a second as Scott Cuthbert flashed a header just wide from a corner.

But Cuthbert then swiped Gordon's feet from under him in added time and the striker converted to deny Stevenage back-to-back league wins for the first time since May 2019.
