Pearson hits equaliser after Hibbert opener

Greg Pearson was the hero as 10-man Burton salvaged a 1-1 draw against Shrewsbury at the Pirelli Stadium. The Shrews looked set for their third successive away win when Dave Hibbert headed home his 13th goal of the season after Burton failed to clear a Craig Disley corner in the 27th minute. Hibbert then forced Artur Krysiak into a fine save before Guy Branston picked up his second booking in the space of three minutes to reduce Burton to 10 men before half-time. But the home side fought valiantly for the equaliser, with Russell Penn hitting a post. Shrewsbury goalkeeper David Button was then forced into a fingertip save from a John McGrath shot. Burton were finally rewarded when Pearson latched onto a pass from substitute Jacques Maghoma to fire home the equaliser from eight yards with 15 minutes remaining.
