Welling United secured a last-gasp draw at Havant & Waterlooville thanks to Tommy Whitnell's injury-time leveller.

The home side took the lead after 10 minutes through Ian Simpemba's thumping drive but the Wings were level eight minutes later when Dean Cracknell's corner caused havoc in the Hawks box and Luke Nightingale headed into his own net to make it 1-1.

The Hampshire side retook the lead a little over 20 minutes from time when Ryan Woodford headed in Steven Walker's corner.

However Jack Parkinson's stoppage-time free-kick took a wicked deflection and fell to Whitnell to smash the ball past Aaron Howe from close range.

The sub's goal ensured United left Westleigh Park with a point, which took them up one place to 18th in Blue Square South.
