Stockport produced a spirited fightback to grab a share of the spoils in a draw with Cheltenham.

Former Blackburn striker Ben Burgess spared the home side's blushes with his first goal for the Hatters just before half-time.

Burgess, who has been absent for most of the the season with a knee injury, was on hand to slot the ball home from inside the six-yard box after a brilliant ball from the right from winger Ali Gibb.

Cheltenham had gone in front through towering striker Julian Alsop, who also scored from close range.

Both sides created a string of good chances and Cheltenham could have won it late on, but Alan Blayney saved brilliantly from Martin Devaney.
