The match in pictures: Eastbourne Borough suffer late heartbreak at Weston-super-Mare

Eastbourne Borough looked on course to confirm their National League South safety with a victory at Weston-super-Mare – only to be denied by a late, late equaliser that means the battle goes on until Thursday and quite possibly to the final day of the season on Saturday.

Jamie Soule’s goal for Weston in the 95th minute cancelled out another Yahya Bamba strike that had given Adam Murray’s team a first half lead.

Borough could be safe on Thursday night if Taunton lose their game in hand – but if they draw or win then Borough will go to Braintree on Saturday with survival still to play for.
