An injury time goal by Tyler Magloire saw Northampton salvage a point in a 1-1 draw against Stockport.
Louie Barry’s penalty in the final stages of the 90 had seen Stockport take the lead, but Magloire’s equaliser ensured Northampton took a point with them for the trip back down south.
The result means that with 11 games played of the League One season, Northampton find themselves 2 places above the relegation zone ahead of a game against Crawley Town, who would jump ahead of Northampton if they were to win at Sixfields.
Having won over Leyton Orient at the weekend, Northampton picked an unchanged starting 11 for the trip to the side promoted from League Two last season.
Stockport’s best first half chances fell for Jayden Fevrier, who headed one effort wide and then saw a long range drive hit the crossbar, while Tom Eaves headed wide for Northampton in-between the two attempts.
The home side upped the tempo after the break, as Barry, Odin Bailey and Fevrier all missed the target with efforts.
Northampton nearly made the most of a chance in response, however, when Tyler Roberts saw a strike bounce off the post. Tarique Fosu would also see one cleared off the line moments later.
With time running out, however, Stockport were handed a chance to open the scoring from the spot. Cameron McGeehan was deemed to have fouled Kyle Wootton, and Barry duly scored the penalty to give Stockport an 87th minute lead.
However, things weren’t done, and in the third minute of stoppage time, Northampton equalised when Magloire turned in Fosu’s cross.
