Match report: Huddersfield Town 2 - 2 Cheltenham Town

Just why Low felt the need to dive in on Tom Clarke so deep into Town territory was questionable, but to then react was even more inexplicable. Referee Kevin Wright was on the spot and the verdict was a straight red.

That left the onus on Town to take the game to the visitors who held on bitterly as their ability to compete was severely tested by further injuries.

Stretched to breaking point the Robins cracked on 84 minutes when Cadamarteri and Booth had combined to split the defence and as the ball fell to substitute Michael Flynn he was hauled down in the penalty area.

Regular spot specialist Roberts was already in the dug-out so Robbie Williams stepped up for the penalty. His shot was low but not firm enough to beat the left hand of Robins’ keeper Scott Brown.

Town refused to give up the fight and into the third minute of stoppage time they got their reward with Cadamarteri playing a telling role as his cross was headed back across goal by Anthony Pilkington and Andy Butler’s header rescued a point.
