Acrrington 4 Burton 4

-

JIMMY FLOYD HASSELBAIN­K said Burton had made a “little step forward” after picking up their first point of the season in the thrilling draw at Accrington Stanley.

Davis Keillor-dunn scored a hat-trick to put the Brewers 3-0 up, before Joe Pritchard and Sean Mcconville pulled goals back.

Albion thought they had sealed their first win of the season when Gassan Ahadme fired home after 81 minutes, but goals in the closing stages from Josh Woods and Rosaire Longelo denied the visitors.

“We were brilliant for the majority of the time,” said Burton boss Hasselbain­k. “We knew coming here was going to be competitiv­e, but our strikers looked dangerous.

“Saying that, we need to work harder, nothing is going to be given to us, we have made a little step forward, but there is more work.”

Accrington manager John Coleman added: “We are an entertaini­ng side, going forward we play some lovely football and created some great chances but conceded some poor goals.”
