Ryan Lowe's late goal for Chester denied 10-man Bury a valuable victory which would have boosted their promotion chances.

Andy Morrell broke the deadlock right on the stroke of half-time when he forced the ball past John Danby.

Ryan Cresswell then saw red after he was caught tugging back Ryan Lowe from Dave Mannix's through-ball.

And Lowe made Bury pay at the death when he turned in Kevin Roberts' cross to send the Chester fans wild.
