WATCH: Yeltz fight back twice for a point

On-loan Shrewsbury Town striker Kaiman Anderson struck a brace as Halesowen twice came from behind to rescue a point.

Sutton took just four minutes to take the lead when Ryan Edmunds smacked a half-volley home off the far post after being set up by former Halesowen midfielder Aaron Forde. Jordan Goddard then fired wide twice.

Halesowen boss John Hill made a double substitution at the interval and the change paid off within seconds of the restart when a mistake in Sutton's central defence let in Anderson to slot an equaliser past goalkeeper James Wren.

The Yeltz then put the Royals under a spell of good pressure with Wren called upon to make saves from substitute Ashley Parsons-Smith and Aaron Griffiths.

But veteran Sutton substitute and former Halesowen striker Iyseden Christie marked his return to the Grove by restoring Sutton's lead with a 69th-minute header after Forde played a delightful reverse pass for Goddard to cross.

Wren made a vital close-range blocking save from Halesowen's Danny Bragoli in the 86th minute but there was still time for Jean-Michel Gueyes to cross for Anderson to head home to make it 2-2 in the 89th minute.
