Points snatched in last minute (27.08.05)

A LAST-MINUTE wonder-strike from substitute Charlie Hill gave Hayes all three points in a turgid encounter at Church Road on Saturday.
The game started in chaos with six players (four from Hayes, two from Maidenhead) unable to reach the ground in time for kick-off, following traffic problems on the M4.
The Magpies were first out of the blocks and were unlucky not to take the lead on three minutes, when a snap-shot from Robert Traynor was fumbled wide by Hayes keeper Kevin Davies.
Five minutes later Daryl Wilson broke through for United, only for his lob to bounce on the wrong side of the post.
Hayes then began to get into the game but created very little in front of goal, the closest chance coming when a defensive header from Kamran Abassi hit the post and was scrambled to safety by former Flackwell Heath keeper Paul McCarthy, making his debut in goal for the Magpies.
After the break, the home team began to take charge.
With United fielding four debutants, legs soon began to tire, and Hayes took advantage in the 57th minute with a sweeping move down the right wing.
Jeff Goulding’s cross was cleverly dummied by Kieran Knight to leave Stuart Goodall plenty of time and space to fire home from close range.
Hayes almost doubled their lead four minutes later with a Knight header, only for Jason Cousins to clear the ball off the line.
United’s cause was then made more difficult when, with 13 minutes remaining, Traynor received a red card following a clash with Robbie Williams.
The incident only served to fire up the Magpies, and the equaliser came with four minutes remaining.
Following a foul on Abassi, Solomon Taiwo swung a free-kick in from the right wing, which Davies came for but completely missed, allowing substitute John Bacon to tap in on his debut.
However Hayes were not to be denied a first win and with just seconds of normal time left, substitute Charlie Hill picked up a loose ball on the edge of the penalty area and unleashed a wicked, swerving drive which dipped just under the crossbar.
United poured forward in an effort to save the point but this time a Taiwo free-kick from the left produced a flying save from Davies to condemn the Magpies to bottom place in the table.
