A last-minute header from Histon skipper Matt Langston salvaged a point in a pulsating Cambridgeshire derby.

The home side enjoyed the lion's share of chances but were continually denied by Cambridge keeper Danny Potter.

The breakthrough eventually came from a short corner when striker Chris Holroyd latched onto Courtney Pitt's cross.

But Histon found a second wind and, after Potter pulled off another fine save, Langston's header ricocheted into the net from the resulting corner.
