Morecambe 1-1 Wycombe- Match Report


Adebayo Akinfenwa scores late leveller for Wycombe

A last-gasp goal from Adebayo Akinfenwa gave Wycombe a vital point in their quest for a play off spot.

The giant striker was in the right place at the right time to bundle home the loose ball after the Morecambe defence failed to clear to earn what could be an important draw.

Gareth Ainsworth's side had fallen behind eight minutes earlier when Morecambe veteran Kevin Ellison scored a superb opener.

Ellison received the ball with his back to goal on the edge of the area but turned quickly and curled a delightful effort past Jamal Blackman from the edge of the box.

The first half saw no goals but plenty of endeavour from both sides.

Blackman was the busier of the two keepers making three excellent saves from three different players

His best was a flying effort to tip away a 30 yard drive from Michael Rose that was heading for the top right hand corner of the Wycombe goal

The on loan Chelsea stopper then did well to tip over a Paul Mullin drive and a low volley from Ellison that was destined for the bottom left hand corner.
