Port Vale 2-2 Macclesfield: Points shared at Vale Park
Wednesday 1 January 2020 18:54, UK
Port Vale and Macclesfield battled to a 2-2 draw at Vale Park on New Year's Day.
A share of the spoils means Vale are three points off the play-off spots, whilst the Silkmen are three points above the relegation zone.
Macclesfield have failed to win in nine league games, a run which stretches back to October.
Joe Ironside missed a gilt-edged chance to give the visitors the lead when he nodded over from point-blank range.
David Worrall handed Vale the lead in fortunate fashion as his cross evaded everyone in the penalty area to nestle in the top corner.
