A stunning long-range strike from Josh Coulson earned Cambridge a vital point away at Grimsby Town.

Coulson hit a dipping 35-yard effort that deceived Town keeper Kenny Arthur, and earned a draw that pushes the U's away from the relegation spots.

Early on, Dean Sinclair had fired the Mariners ahead with a curled effort from Michael Coulson's pass.

Cambridge could have won it late on, but Rory McAuley could only fire tamely at Arthur when put through on goal.
