Jack Midson's late equaliser earned a draw for high-flying Histon after they seemed destined for defeat against promotion rivals Cambridge.

Wayne Hatswell's long-range strike gave Cambridge the lead with just over 15 minutes remaining.

But Midson volleyed home from six yards with five minutes left on the clock to deny the visitors.

The result was ideal for leaders Burton, who hold a 12-point lead over Histon, who now have one game in hand.
