Accrington were ahead inside a minute after Isaac Sinclair got down the right and his cross-shot was deflected to Josh Woods, who tapped in at the far post.

The Robins were level in the 18th minute when Ollie Palmer nodded in Jake Batty’s cross at the far post.

Two minutes later Palmer was sent racing through but his rebounded shot went to Aaron Drinan, who had a lot to do to work space and fire home from an angle through a crowd of players.

Home goalkeeper Connor Ripley then pulled off a stunning save from Woods’ sharp near-post header from point-blank range while Drinan bore down on goal but Ollie Wright saved with his leg.

After the break, Joe Snowdon rattled the bar for Town from distance after chopping back on the left wing and Fletcher Holman was set free but Wright again blocked with his leg.

But, two minutes into added time, Butterfield gobbled up a rebound after Ripley spilled Shaun Whalley’s shot to grab a point.
