Fon Williams earns Hatters a point against Oldham

Stockport goalkeeper Owain Fon Williams staged a heroic display to earn his side a 0-0 draw at Oldham. The home side created virtually all the chances against their north-west rivals but Fon Williams defied them with a string of saves. The Wales Under-21 international, who has been linked with moves to the Premier League, ensured honours were even at half-time when he dived full length to thwart Keigan Parker. And he was unbeatable after the break when Oldham, featuring eight debutants in their new-look team, did everything but grab a deserved winning goal. Fon Williams charged off his line to block Dean Furman's angled shot and then made a stunning stop as Furman's volley burst through a ruck of players. He also saved two Pawel Abbott efforts, included one in the fourth minute of stoppage time, and another from sub Darren Byfield. Stockport did not threaten the Oldham goal until the 90th minute when Greg Tansey blasted straight at Dean Brill from the edge of the box.
