Kerron Christian heads injury time equaliser for Peel

Kerron Christian's late header cancelled out a Dan Hattersley hat-trick as Peel and Rushen shared the spoils in the Old Firm at Douglas Road.

The hosts led through Dominic McGreevy before Hattersley levelled after Peel failed to clear a Jack Saxon corner.

Rushen then went 2-1 up as the former Southport and Stockport man converted a penalty.

Twenty minutes into the second half and Hattersley completed his hat-trick, finding the net from a superb free-kick.

But the westerners rallied late on in the game and the Canada Life Premier League's top goalscorer, Rhys Oates, made it 3-2.

And, just as The Spaniards thought they were heading back down south with all three points, Christian struck at the death to ensure it finished honours even.
