Dean Holden's stoppage-time goal salvaged a 2-2 home draw for Oldham - but condemned Cambridge to relegation and Division Three football next season.

The Latics have now gone five games without a win while Cambridge have not collected three points away from home all season.

Oldham were in trouble after 26 minutes when they were reduced to 10 men as Darren Sheridan was sent off for violent conduct.

Cambridge made the extra man count when they took the lead in the 37th minute.

Oldham goalkeeper Andy Goram punched out a Luke Guttridge corner but was helpless as Ian Ashbee's shot from just outside the area was deflected into the net.

The home side levelled on the stroke of half-time when full-back Holden headed his first goal of the season.

But Cambridge regained the lead in the 56th minute when Guttridge was on target from the penalty spot after Dele Adebola had been punished for handball.

Oldham, however, never gave up and snatched a dramatic equaliser in the seventh minute of stoppage time when Holden smashed in his second goal from 14 yards.


Oldham: Goram, Armstrong, McNiven, Baudet, Holden, Eyres, Murray, Darren Sheridan, Duxbury, Smart, Adebola. Subs: Miskelly, Clegg, Carss, Corazzin, Colusso.

Cambridge Utd: Perez, Murray, Duncan, Angus, Fleming, Scully, Ashbee, Guttridge, Tudor, Kitson, Youngs. Subs: Marshall, Bridges, Revell, Mustoe, One.

Referee: M Ryan (Preston).
