Braintree stun high-flying Salford with last-gasp Callum Morton strike

Bottom club Braintree rocked promotion-chasing Salford with a 1-0 win at Cressing Road with a dramatic last-minute finish.

Four minutes of stoppage time had been played when Callum Morton applied the final touch in a goalmouth scramble.

The hosts had ridden their luck in the early stages as Rob Atkinson and Ricky Gabriel both cleared effots off the line. Carl Piergianni also forced Ben Killip into a fine save from 20 yards.

At the other end, Chris Neal almost fumbled a Korrey Henry shot but gathered at the second attempt.

Neal also prevented a Braintree opener with brave stop to deny Henry from close range but his efforts were in vain as Morton snatched victory with his last-gasp intervention.
