Tom Eaves snatches point for Gillingham
Posted Sunday, February 03, 2019 by PA
Tom Eaves’ stoppage-time penalty rescued Gillingham a point as they salvaged a 1-1 draw away to Coventry.
The Gills looked to be slipping into the relegation places after Bright Enobakhare put Coventry ahead after 68 minutes, but Eaves’ spot-kick ensured the visitors returned to Kent with a valuable point.
Steve Lovell’s side squandered a great opportunity after 27 minutes when Josh Rees found Eaves free at the back post. The striker’s header was excellently saved by Lee Burge and Elliot List was unable to convert the rebound.
Enobakhare gave the hosts the lead when he broke from his own half and surged towards the Gillingham penalty area before playing in Amadou Bakayoko. His effort was saved but Enobakhare rifled in the loose ball.
Bakayoko missed a glorious opportunity to wrap up the points for Coventry in the 84th minute as he fired wide when through on goal.
And Coventry paid for their profligacy when Burge brought down Brandon Hanlan in the box and Eaves made no mistake from 12 yards as he comfortably dispatched his penalty.
