 Brentford's Andy Frampton is distraught after the penalty award |
Oldham snatched an unlikely draw after a controversial penalty in the fifth minute of injury-time. The Bees took the lead on the hour when Garry Richards glanced home a header and with five minutes left they went 2-0 up through Joe Keith's clever chip.
Leon Clarke immediately headed in Paul Warne's right-wing cross for Oldham.
And the play-off hopefuls grabbed a point when Sam Tillen was adjudged to have handled in the box and Clarke stepped up to power home the equaliser.
