The Shrimps looked down and out after just 11 minutes following goals by the visitors' Craig Morgan and Charlie Lee, both coming from Jamie Day corners.

David Artell pulled one back with a header but was sent off for a stamp on Chris Whelpdale after the break.

Carl Baker's header from Michael Twiss's corner made it 2-2 before Baker slotted a penalty after Day handled.
