Last second Chilton header save Morpeth blushes

FA Vase First Round Proper

West Didsbury & Chorlton 4-5 Morpeth Town

Michael Chilton’s 94th minute header saved Morpeth Town’s blushes after squandering a 4-0 half time lead away at West Didsbury & Chorlton. The hosts had pulled level in the 92nd minute, but Town’s talisman Chilton secured the win with just five seconds remaining.

First half goals from James Novak, Jordan Fry, Chris Swailes and Chilton himself had given the Highwaymen a comfortable 4-0 lead, but similar to last Tuesday against Whitley Bay, the hosts came back into the game scoring four second half goals and the game heading to extra time.
