Paul Hayes' second-half strike earned play-off-chasing Scunthorpe a point against Carlisle at Brunton Park.

Joe Anyinsah gave the home side the lead when he bundled home a Lewis Neal corner at the near post.

Hayes equalised when he was found by Martyn Woolford's free-kick, the striker firing a curling shot in-off the crossbar from 15 yards out.

Hayes also had a shot well saved by Ben Williams, while team-mate Liam Trotter fired over late on.
