Whitely snatches late equaliser for Ebbsfleet
Posted Wednesday, August 08, 2018 by PA
Corey Whitely struck a stoppage-time equaliser to clinch Ebbsfleet a 1-1 draw at Leyton Orient.
Orient appeared to be heading for their first win of the season thanks to James Brophy’s first-half effort, but substitute Whitely fired home via a deflection in time added on.
Orient, who drew 1-1 at newly-promoted Salford on Saturday, led 1-0 at the break thanks to Brophy, who converted Macauley Bonne’s fine cutback.
Ebbsfleet were unlucky not to be level at the break as Orient goalkeeper Dean Brill saved brilliantly to deny Myles Weston, while Sam Magri also went close for the visitors.
Orient forced the issue for much of the second half, but struggled to create clear-cut chances before Josh Koroma’s effort was well saved by Ebbsfleet goalkeeper Nathan Ashmore.
Ebbsfleet striker Michael Cheek blazed over in the 87th minute, but the visitors snatched a last-gasp equaliser when Whitely’s shot was deflected passed the stranded Brill.
