Teenager salvages point at the Moss Rose Ground
Teenager Ricky Sappleton snatched a late equaliser against Morecambe in a thriller at the Moss Rose Ground.
The young striker hit a superb late strike which scraped inside the near post from 20-yards out to make sure of a point late in the game.
Macclesfield had taken the lead in the first-half through former Liverpool trainee Craig Linfield.
The youngster scored on his home debut from close range having picked up on a decent cross from Lee Bell.
Morecambe, though, hit back when Stewart Drummond hit a superb volley on 52 minutes.
Then Will Haining played a neat one-two off Phil Jevons before sliding the ball home at the far post soon after to give the visitors the lead just after the hour mark.
Not to be outdone, Sappleton's late rocket capped off a gutsy 2-2 draw, adding ease to the Silkmen's relegation concerns.
