The visitors drew level two minute later when Danny Forrest sent a volleyed effort into the bottom-left corner.

Grays reclaimed the lead in the 86th minute when Scott Taylor collected Barry Cogan's cross from the left channel and fired his 12-yard effort into the bottom-right corner.

Both sets of supporters had been on a real rollercoaster ride the entire game and there was more one twist in the tail as Jon Shaw netted a late goal to level the scores once more.
