Fleetwood 2-2 Shrewsbury: Josh Morris equaliser sees shares spoiled at Highbury

Highlights of the Sky Bet League One match between Fleetwood and Shrewsbury.

Fleetwood substitute Josh Morris struck late to earn his side a deserved 2-2 draw against Shrewsbury.

Morris fired home in the 87th minute via a slight deflection from 18 yards after Jason Cummings' had put the Shrews 2-1 ahead just minutes earlier.

That was the second time Town had battled back from behind, with Lewie Coyle having levelled at the start of the second half after Shaun Whalley had netted for the visitors.

Fleetwood dominated in the early stages with Ched Evans and Wes Burns both missing excellent opportunities.

Danny Andrew also fired a 20-yard free-kick just off target for the hosts.

Despite all their dominance, Fleetwood almost conceded in the 37th minute when Whalley thumped a shot against the crossbar after meeting Scott Golbourne's lay-off.

Whalley made no mistake two minutes later, however, tapping home a rebound after Callum Lang's initial strike was parried into his path by Town goalkeeper Alex Cairns.
