Elder off early as Scott's men strike late

Brentford salvaged a 1-1 draw against Notts County with a last-gasp goal despite playing for almost the entire match with 10 men. Bees striker Nathan Elder was shown a red card after eight minutes for an alleged elbow on Mike Edwards - a decision which stunned both sets of supporters. Four minutes later Delroy Facey gave the visitors the lead when he latched onto a long clearance and fired inside the far post. Sean Canham should have put the visitors out of sight in the second half but his header was well saved by Bees goalkeeper Ben Hamer. The promotion-chasing West Londoners looked set for a shock defeat until the final minute when substitute Glenn Poole swung a cross from deep and centre-back Mark Phillips rose highest to head over Magpies keeper Kevin Pilkington.
