Crewe 2-2 Cambridge: Adam May earns a point for visitors with late goal
Saturday 2 October 2021 19:48, UK
Adam May fired a stoppage-time equaliser for Cambridge as they fought back to earn a 2-2 draw at Crewe.
First-half goals from Oli Finney and Scott Robertson appeared to have earned the Railwaymen their second win of the season. But the U's dominated the second half and cut the arrears through an own goal by Crewe keeper Will Jaaskelainen before the late drama.
Finney, making his first start in over a month, latched onto a knockdown from Chris Porter and blasted a low shot into the bottom corner for the 10th-minute opener.
Another well-worked move from the home side saw Celtic loanee Scott Robertson double the lead in the 26th minute. Finney with his back to goal at the near post laid off a set-play into the path of the 20-year-old who showed great composure to finish.
May was agonisingly close when he skipped clear but his drive glanced off the far post.
