Salisbury succumbed to a last-second equaliser in a six-goal thriller despite scoring in the 90th minute.

It was a fast start at Arbour Park as Odokonyero rifled an accurate reverse finish into the bottom-left corner after an interception from Hedges was laid off to Willard, finding the foot of Odokonyero to score his second goal of the season.

The pressure didn’t stop there as Jolliffe had a chance from range on the half-volley which hit the post just minutes after.

Then, against the run of play, the hosts were able to work the ball into the Salisbury box, where Revan clipped the heels of the attacker to award Slough a penalty, which was subsequently converted.

In probably the quietest portion of the afternoon, the Whites were forced into a change after McIntyre hobbled off the field, to be replaced by Gbadebo.

However, ten minutes later, the visitors were in the lead again.

After some passes at the top of the Slough area, Willard played a successful slipped through ball to Hedges, who poked it home to give Salisbury the advantage just before half-time.

Just before the hour mark, Salisbury thought they went two goals to the good after Odokonyero had the ball in the net again, but it was deemed offside by a margin.

The homeside levelled again just after the hour mark, substitute Luke Holness slid past Will Buse after being put through on goal.

Salisbury supporters thought that three points had been secured in the 90th minute. Noah Coppin picked himself up and dusted himself off after being fouled in the box to stroke home the penalty.

However, Johnny Goddard had other ideas - when he cut inside in the fourth minute of added time and curled a beauty past Buse into the top right-hand corner to level the game at the death.
