League 2 round-up

Macclesfield avoided setting a new Football League record for the most matches without a win, coming from behind to beat Carlisle 2-1.

Things had looked bleak for the Silkmen when Ashley Nadeson gave Carlisle the lead. However, a Mitchell Rose drew the hosts level, before Peter Vincenti’s late winner.

Port Vale ended their run of three straight league defeats with a 1-0 victory at Oldham.

After being hammered 6-2 at home by Lincoln last week, the Valiants produced a staunch defensive effort and took all three points through Tom Pope’s first-half goal.

Lincoln City were forced to play 70 minutes with 10 men as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Cambridge United.

The Imps took an early lead through Matt Rhead, but Jevani Brown’s stunning longrange strike made it all square.

Ellis Chapman was then shown a straight red card.
