Boston United 3-1 Blyth Spartans

United looked to be heading to defeat, courtesy of Cedric Main's 26th minute penalty, but Ian Culverhouse's side showed brilliant powers of recovery.

Kelsey Mooney levelled a minute from time, substitute Michael Gyasi fired the Pilgrims in front three minutes into stoppage time and Mooney added an eventual third to cap a stunning turnaround.

The result had looked like going against United with Spartans leading from the penalty spot following a rash Finley Thorndike foul on Will McGowan. Thorndike was cautioned and MAIN calmly rolled him the spot-kick.

United had already seen their best chance of the first half go begging when Keaton Ward connected with Jimmy Knowles' cross from the left, but crashed his effort high and wide. Sam McLintock fired wide towards the end of the first half, following Thorndike's throughball.

Dylan Hill was introduced on the hour mark with Michael Bostwick struggling with his hamstring - and Tom Edge followed 15 minutes later as United continued to reshuffle their defensive and midfield options.

Alex Mitchell denied McLintock as United ramped up the pressure and as time appeared to be running out, Pilgrim Way witnessed a stirring comeback.

Zak Mills delivered a pinpoint cross from the right and MOONEY guided the ball home at the near post with a minute of normal time to play.

There was still time for Cameron Gregory to touch Rhys Evans' low drive behind for a corner, with Blyth seemingly set to re-assert their advantage.

United took full advantage and three minutes into added time, Jimmy Knowles played GYASI clear to roll the ball beyond Mitchell and spark pandemonium around the stadium.

The Pilgrims applied the icing to their cake two minutes later when Jimmy Knowles skipped clear down the right and pulled the ball back for MOONEY to steer home and complete an unforgettable afternoon.
