Campbell scores late equaliser as Aldershot draw thriller at Eastleigh

Tahvon Campbell’s late equaliser denied promotion-chasing Eastleigh victory as their National League clash with Aldershot finished 3-3.

Campbell nodded in Jack Barham’s cross in the 87th minute to deny an Eastleigh side who had gone into a 2-0 lead inside 20 minutes with Danny Whitehall setting up first Charlie Carter and then Ousseynou Cisse.

But only four minutes after the second went in Aldershot pulled one back when Barham’s 25-yard shot went in off the post.

Gerry McDonagh restored Eastleigh’s two-goal advantage, turning in a free-kick just before the break, and they were happy to see the assistant’s flag go up as Barham found the back of the net again in first-half stoppage time.

But Aldershot did get back into it when Corey Jordan scored six minutes into the second half, and after Alfie Lloyd fired over an open goal on the hour mark, Campbell’s late goal made them pay.
