Rushden and Diamonds came from behind to earn a draw at Fleetwood Town.

Anthony Barry's strike from just inside the box found the corner of the net, drawing first blood for the hosts.

But with 17 minutes remaining, Aaron O'Connor latched onto a pass from Alan Power and fired into the bottom corner to level the scores.

Substitute Nathan Pond missed two glorious chances to win it for Fleetwood, the best of which saw him fire a shot wide.
