Oldham 2-1 Salford: Davis Keillor-Dunn strikes late to complete Oldham turnaround
Saturday 30 January 2021 19:38, UK
Substitute Davis Keillor-Dunn netted a stoppage-time winner as Oldham came from behind to beat their Greater Manchester neighbours Salford 2-1.
Salford hit the frame of the goal three times, but Oldham's much-improved second-half performance was rewarded.
The Ammies scored early when Ian Henderson chested down Tom James' pass before beating goalkeeper Ian Lawlor neatly from an acute angle.
They almost doubled their lead when Richie Towell's thumping 22-yard drive struck the crossbar. Minutes later Towell crossed for James, and his effort from a narrow angle hit the far post.
Paul Coutts somehow scooped a shot over the top from eight yards out as Salford continued to dominate, before Henderson forced Lawlor into a terrific save just before the break.
