Cumbrians secure last-gasp point at Os

Paul Thirlwell grabbed a dramatic injury time equaliser for Carlisle in an entertaining 2-2 draw at Brisbane Road. Carlisle could count themselves unlucky not to have taken all three points after dominating possession in the first half. And the visitors took the lead on the stroke of half time when midfielder Tom Taiwo broke and fed an unmarked Matt Robson who moved in from the left to find the Londoners' bottom corner. Carlisle's earlier threat had come from burly striker Joe Anyinsah who might have made more of an early chance when he eluded centre-back Luke Ashworth and shot over.

Two minutes after the interval United defender Peter Murphy was ruled to have fouled Ryan Jarvis and fellow striker Scott McGleish levelled from a twice taken penalty. Six minutes from the end Orient substitute Adrian Patuela worked his way forward and cleverly set up McGleish to score. McGleish was denied a hat-trick by United keeper Lenny Pidgeley before Thirlwell produced his excellent 15-yard equaliser.
