FC United of Manchester's Northern Premier League unbeaten run has been extended to 14 matches - and a 2-2 draw against Ilkeston Town could prove a hugely important point.
The Red Rebels have a four point lead at the top of the table, after sharing the spoils with third-placed Ilkeston.
FCUM snatched a point in the 84th minute, courtesy of a Tom Greaves strike, after Ilkeston had fought back from a goal down.
An impressive crowd of 2,443 watched Jerome Wright break the deadlock from a controversial penalty, before Michael Williams and James Reid turned the game on its head.
Greaves, however, bagged his 23rd goal of the season late on to ensure FCUM remain unbeaten in the league since November 22nd. Next up in the hunt for a Conference North spot, it's Halesowen Town.
