Spiller rescues point for Gills

28 August 2010 19:30
A late goal from Danny Spiller earned Gillingham a deserved 1-1 draw at Morecambe's Globe Arena. Spiller netted with a late header after a vicious Chris Palmer free-kick, to cancel out Craig Stanley's goal for the home side. Stanley scored on the hour mark, Gillingham's defence unable to stop him from ghosting in to nod home Mark Duffy's cross from the left. Spiller made sure that Andy Hessenthaler's men did not leave with nothing when he nodded in with six minutes remaining. The midfielder, in his second spell with the Gills, then had a glorious chance to win the game in injury time, but he could only volley over the top of Barry Roche's goal after catching Morecambe's defence napping with a sharp run.
