The Pools goalkeeper kicked the ball straight off Isaac Olaofe inside the opening three minutes to gift Sutton the lead. Gavan Holohan levelled things up soon after half-time with a well-taken effort to celebrate his new deal at the club.

1. Ben Killip - 5
Had a nightmare start as he kicked the ball straight off Olaofe to gift Sutton the lead. Made amends shortly after with a great save to deny Ajiboye and looked more composed after that. Photo: Mark Fletcher
2. Macauley Southam-Hales - 6
Linked up well down the right side and got into several good positions but just couldn’t find the killer ball. Photo: MI News
3. Mark Kitching - 6
Like Southam-Hales on the right, Kitching had plenty of opportunities to get forward and attack just couldn’t get the final ball into the box. Photo: Mark Fletcher
4. Gary Liddle - 8
Rescued a point with a phenomenal goal-line clearance deep into stoppage time. Was generally solid all afternoon. Photo: Mark Fletcher
