James Norwood grabs late draw for Scunthorpe against Worthing
It was Scunthorpe’s first point since September 26.
A last-minute James Norwood equaliser saw Scunthorpe draw 1-1 with promotion-pushing Worthing in Adam Preece’s first game in charge of the Irons.
Despite Jordan Young’s lovely first-time finish in the 17th minute, which bounced off the post and in, 23rd place Scunthorpe had the better opportunities over the game, with James Gale clattering the bar in the 41st minute and then curling an effort narrowly wide in the 65th minute.
In the third minute of second-half stoppage time, Scunthorpe finally got the leveller as veteran striker Norwood stepped up and slammed home his fourth goal in five games, securing the Irons’ first point since September 26.
The result marked an encouraging start for new manager Preece in Scunthorpe’s first ever competitive meeting with Worthing.
