KEL'S MAIN MAN

Rescue act by Charlie - but ref under fire

- By Alan Smith

DAVE CHALLINOR hailed the mental strength of his Stockport side for bouncing back from the biggest refereeing howler he has seen in 15 years as a boss.

But the County manager is aware that the hardest work is still to come after they let a hard-fought lead slip late on to ensure Wednesday's second leg begins level.

Challinor was furious that League One Golden Boot winner Charlie Kelman gave Orient the lead after half an hour despite being more than two yards offside.

However, Oliver Norwood ignited their fightback by converting a penalty before delivering a pinpoint free-kick that Fraser Horsfall (left) headed home.
