Oldham Athletic AFC 1 - 1 Port Vale: Oldham hit back to earn draw against Port Vale

Oldham stretched their unbeaten run to seven games as they hit back for a 1-1 draw against Port Vale.

Liam Kelly rescued a point for John Sheridan's Latics after the visitors led through Sam Foley's first goal since November.

Carl Dickinson earned Vale the best chance of the first half, but Ajay Leitch-Smith could not make a strong connection with the defender's cross.

Oldham sprung into life just after the break, carving out an opening for Matt Palmer before Curtis Main headed wide of the near post.

Vale went in front on the hour when Oldham keeper Joel Coleman failed to deal with Michael O'Connor's set piece and the loose ball was volleyed in from 14 yards by Foley.

Leitch-Smith should have doubled the visitors' lead, but he blazed over an open goal after Coleman saved from Foley.

Oldham levelled in the 68th minute after Anthony Gerrard was fouled by Richard Duffy.

Kelly's resulting penalty was superbly tipped onto the post by keeper Chris Neal, but Kelly converted the rebound from a yard.

Aaron Amadi-Holloway could have won it for the home side, only to drag his shot wide after bursting into the box.
