Torquay United, Burton Albion share the spoils

Torquay United and Burton Albion have drawn 1-1 in this evening's League Two clash at Plainmoor.

Gary Alexander had the first effort of the game for the Brewers, but his shot on the turn was easily saved by Michael Poke.

Midway through the first half, Philip Edwards played a ball to Damien McCrory, then proceeded to lash a left-footed shot into the centre of the Seagulls goal to give the away side the lead.

However, the home side struck back just seven minutes later, when Ben Harding's cross fell to Elliot Benyon, who proceeded to head the ball into the net to level proceedings.

Early in the second half, Harding attempted a shot from distance, but it failed to cause goalkeeper Rob Lainton any problems, while a few minutes later Poke was responsible for a good save from the Brewers front line.

Towards the end of the game, Billy Bodin could have sealed the victory for the home side, but his shot was a yard wide of the far post.
