Proper instincts there, well saved strike but he's ready for the rebound

Redvalleyeast

Well done Mason. Keeper made a save from the initial shot and Mason jumped up off the floor to head it back over the keeper. Great awareness from the lad

Decent game so far... Pretty end to end

Burstow sees his initial effort saved by Killip but he reacts quickest to nod the ball home and restore parity! #pools 1 #cafc 1

Some great work by Washington in the build up to that goal, he's such a pest

Dunno... Probably feeling a bit sour at the thought that we'll decide to keep him

Every time he scores Sandgaard knocks £5 off his asking price

Bah! Broadband had a wobbly. As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted, our goal was a result of good chasing by Washington, his cros was headed down by Gilbey, Burstow's initial shot was parried, and he headed in the rebound.

21: Good chance for Pools as the ball is worked to Smith on the edge of the box, but his shot is held by the 'keeper. 1-1

aliwibble

Nice bit of defensive work from Leko to harry their forward and win the ball back.

Callumcafc

Grey looks lively for Hartlepool. Only 18 years old.

Hartlepool showing us how to play through a defense

Covered End

Burstow is a natural goal scorer. 
I said that the first time I saw him play. 

aliwibble

Leko claims a free kick after a tangle with his defender but the ref's unimpressed.

26: Close! Shelton's long-range effort is fumbled by the 'keeper but Pearce clears before Cullen can capitalise! 1-1

aliwibble

Erk, McG spills a shot from distance and Pearce has to clear for a corner.

ForeverAddickted

Good reaction from Pearce... Needed that at Crewe and Cheltenham 

Callumcafc

Hate those shots that bounce right in front of you. Proper horrible to save those.

Pearce saves McG's bacon after the ball bobbles back from the keeper. Henderson will have a wry smile.

aliwibble

Corner cleared to the edge of the area, and the shot just clears the bar.

28: More good pressure from Pools as Olomola and Cullen force another corner. 1-1

aliwibble

We're a bit all over the place at the back, and concede another corner.

29: It's Francis-Angol's turn to have a strike at goal, and the full-back sees his shot deflected for yet-another corner. 1-1
