CAPTAIN Callum Howe was York City’s hero with a 100th-minute equalizer to rescue a draw against FC Halifax Town.

The Shaymen got off to a dream start with Adam Senior and Tom Pugh firing them into a 2-0 lead inside three minutes.

Ollie Pearce’s penalty on the quarter-hour halved the deficit and after York sub Ashley Nathaniel-George was sent off for the frustrated Minstermen in stoppage-time, Howe rose highest to head home Jeff King’s cross to salvage a point.

“I don’t know where to begin to be honest because probably 85 minutes of the game is unbelievable,” said relieved York boss Adam Hinshelwood.

“Full credit to the players for keeping going.

“They are a real good stubborn side and we’ve created so many chances, and played with intensity, but we can’t start games like that.
