Port Vale 1-1 Exeter: Idris Kanu earns last-gasp win for home side

Saturday 29 September 2018 20:17, UK

Substitute Idris Kanu scored a dramatic late equaliser to earn Port Vale a 1-1 draw with Exeter at Vale Park.

Promotion hopefuls Exeter led when Nicky Law netted in the 48th minute, only for Kanu's heroics deep into added time to save the day for the hosts.

Having started well, Vale went close when Tom Pope headed at Exeter keeper Christy Pym and Ricky Miller dragged an effort wide.

Law then squandered a brilliant opening for Exeter, shooting over from eight yards out.

Exeter were indebted to Pym with two minutes of the first half left as the Grecians stopper pushed Tom Conlon's 25-yard piledriver on to the crossbar.

Law steered the visitors into the lead three minutes after half-time when he connected with Hiram Boateng's low cross from the right to tap home from close range.

Neil Aspin's Valiants pushed for a way back into the contest, seeing chances go begging from Miller and Ben Whitfield.
