But, Kellermanโ€™s late leveller in the 93rd minute earned a point for the Shots after they moved ahead of Sutton United.

Solihull Moors kept alive their chances of escaping the bottom three after a late strike from Jamie Reckord gave them a 2-1 away win at Barrow.
Both sides scored within the space of two minutes early in the second-half with Asa Hall opening the scoring with his first goal of 2017/18 before an immediate equaliser from Darren Carter.

Boreham Wood returned to the play-off positions after a comfortable 2-0 victory over Torquay United at Meadow Park.

Colombian striker Angelo Balanta gave Boreham Wood an early lead in just the 11th minute before a penalty from top-scorer Bruno Andrade 70 minutes later wrapped up the win.

Callum Howeโ€™s injury time goal earned Eastleigh a 2-2 draw with Woking in a thrilling match at The Silverlake Stadium.
