Fleetwood and Accrington fought out a 1-1 draw in Monday night’s League Two fixture at Highbury Stadium.

The visitors, who have won just once away from home in league action so far this season, looked the brighter in the opening period and took a deserved lead just after the half-hour mark.

Manchester United loanee Sonny Aljofree put Stanley ahead with a rather fortuitous cross-shot that floated over the home defence and over the head of keeper David Harrington.

Cod Army boss Charlie Adam, clearly unhappy with his side’s first-half display, made a triple change at half-time and it had an instant impact on proceedings as it brought them level.

Former Cheltenham winger Ryan Broom nodded home Phoenix Patterson’s neat cross with his first meaningful touch to even the score.

The hosts then came closest to a winner as Irish striker Ronan Coughlan rattled the bar from an acrobatic overhead kick before firing the rebound straight at Billy Crellin.

The draw ends both teams’ respective two-match losing runs but does little to pull them up the table and away from danger below.
