Burton grab point at Moss Rose thanks to own goal

Macclesfield's all-time record league goalscorer Mathew Tipton converted at the wrong end to gift Burton an undeserved equaliser in a 1-1 draw at the Moss Rose. Desperate to clear a John McGrath corner in the 57th minute, Tipton only succeeded in glancing it past the stranded Jon Brain. Macclesfield made a dramatic start, scoring in the third minute when poaching centre-back Nat Brown converted a Lee Bell corner with a superb 15-yard looping header. The Silkmen were then indebted to captain Paul Morgan who made a superb diving stop to clear a powerful Tom Parkes drive off the line in the 40th minute. Town youngster Vinny Mukendi showed why he had been given a two-year contract with a powerful 40-yard run only to see his snapshot palmed wide by Artur Krysiak in the 49th minute. Burton finished the more strongly and might have grabbed a win at the death only for centre-back Tony James to crash a header inches wide from just four yards out.
