After making the long trip to North Yorkshire the Boro were ahead after just 12 minutes when Jake Charles turned his marker into the box and firing home.

Scarborough had a goal disallowed before then hitting the woodwork after Ashley Jackson sent a long throw into the box which cannoned off the post before being cleared.

Jackson then sent a first half effort wide after good work by Luca Colville to create the chance beating several players.

Boro were given a further boost when the hosts were reduced to 10 men on 53 minutes when Simon Heslop was given a second yellow card.

Despite being a man down Scarborough continued to probe in desperate search of an equaliser to boost their top-three ambitions.

The equaliser would come in the form of substitute Weledji who saw his first effort saved by Mateusz Hewelt before netting in the 95th minute.
