Conner Robinson scored the second goal of his loan spell with Boston United as the Pilgrims fought out a 1-1 draw at Worcester City on Tuesday night.

The Lincoln City loanee acrobatically fired the Pilgrims into a 36th minute lead after seeing his initial header saved by City keeper Jose Veiga.

Daniel Nti drew Worcester level six minutes after half-time and the result was arguably fair on the balance of play, although Dayle Southwell was superbly denied by Veiga in stoppage time.

United boss Dennis Greene had opted to make four changes ahead of kick-off, with Robinson being joined in the line-up by Paul Farman, Greg Tempest and Conor Marshall.

City playmaker Danny Jackman fired two early efforts off target, the second of which was a curling 22-yard free-kick flashing wide of Farman's right-hand post.

Robinson's curling drive in response narrowly cleared Veiga's crossbar following good build-up from Zak Mills and Jay Dowie.

Farman then showed good improvisation to volley the loose ball away after initially parrying David McDermott's inswinging free-kick.

The Pilgrims suffered an injury blow on 25 minutes when Mills hobbled off with a groin strain, with Liam Marrs deputising from the bench. The United sub was straight into the action by clearing Nti's header off the line following Jackman's corner.

United edged ahead nine minutes before the break. Rene Steer delivered a quality ball from the left and despite being denied by a terrific Veiga save, ROBINSON hooked home the rebound to fire United in front.

City centre-half Jacob Rowe then made a terrific block to deny Kyle Dixon a near certain second.

United threatened within moments of the restart too. Marshall sparked a great move involving himself and Dowie but horribly skewed his eventual shot over the bar.

City levelled on 51 minutes when NTI rolled away from Steer on the edge of the box to fire a low shot into the bottom corner beyond Farman's grasp.

Worcester exerted plenty of pressure and an excellent double save from Farman denied Connor Gater after City had picked United off from their own corner.

Farman later produced the save of the match to get across and claw Sean Geddes' near post drive behind for a corner.

Veiga made three late save to deny Southwell, first clutching his driven near post effort before blocking a shot at the back post and sticking out a hand to palm a rising drive to safety with virtually the last kick of the game following Danny Meadows' clever free-kick routine.

Worcester (4-4-2): Jose Veiga; George Williams, Graham Hutchison, Jacob Rowe, Tyler Weir; Daniel Nti, Danny Jackman (Michael Taylor 78), Connor Gater, David McDermott (Steven Leslie 86); Mike Symons, Sean Geddes. Subs (not used): Nick Wright, Connor Gudger, Nathan Vaughan (gk).
