A LATE strike from Hartlepool United forward Anth Lormor kept Hartlepool United's unbeated run intact at the expense of his former club as Pool drew 1-1 with Mansfield at Victoria Park.

Pool were trailing to Mark Blake's 56th minute strike, but substitute Lormor headed home Ian Clark's cross with just three minutes left on the clock to extend their unbeaten run to 14 games.

Chris Turner's side - who missed the opportunity to move into an automatic promotion spot ahead of Cardiff after failing to take the points - never got out of first gear in an often drab encounter but after Lormor's saver, both Ian Clark and Lee Fitzpatrick went close with long range efforts.
