Paul Hayes grabs last minute leveller as Wycombe peg back Carlisle

Paul Hayes hit his first goal of the season as Wycombe Wanderers snatched a late 1-1 draw against 10-man Carlisle.

Luke Joyce was dismissed after 24 minutes but his side managed to take the lead through Troy Archibald-Henville's header, before Hayes popped up in the 90th minute to end a run of four straight defeats.

At 0-0 Carlisle goalkeeper Mark Gillespie made a brilliant save after Garry Thompson met Michael Harriman's low cross but an offside flag had already been raised.

Wycombe then had a goal disallowed for offside after a brilliant cross by Harriman was headed down by Thompson, with Hayes finishing off the move outside the six-yard box.

Carlisle midfielder Joyce was sent off after a hard challenge on Sam Wood with more than an hour still to play, but his team-mates rallied in his absence.

They went ahead three minutes into the second half when captain Danny Grainger's corner set up centre-back Archibald-Henville to nod home.

Wycombe nearly got an equaliser in the 55th minute as Marcus Bean had his shot parried away by Gillespie and he later hit the bar from a superb curling effort.

But it was Hayes who levelled it up inside injury time with a lob over Gillespie from outside the penalty area.
