Abbott: It's like a win

29 January 2011 19:00
Carlisle manager Greg Abbott was a relieved man after his side came from two goals down to earn a 2-2 draw against Oldham. First-half strikes from Aidan White and Chris Taylor put the Latics in control before Carlisle rescued a point thanks to Francois Zoko and a 94th-minute penalty from James Berrett after Paul Black had fouled Zoko in the penalty area. Abbott admitted: "It's a relief to get a draw after being 2-0 down as average as we were and playing as well as they did. "You have to be delighted to come out of the game with something. Oldham came out with energy and youth and stopped us in our tracks. We had to dig in and find that performance in the second half. "It's like a win to us and it was important to keep our momentum and belief going."
