Jon Challinor opened the scoring in the 47th minute with a drilled shot.

Michael Fowler and Curtis Woodhouse were both sent off in the second half after Woodhouse reacted to an off-the-ball challenge by Fowler.

Brown slotted home from 18 yards in the 92nd minute, while tempers boiled over at full time as both benches clashed on the touchline.
