Hartlepool United fought back from 2-0 down to earn a draw against 10-man Newport County.

Newport went ahead through Chris Zebroski before Aaron O'Connor increased their lead after the break.

Andy Sandell's second yellow reduced the Exiles to 10 men and United took full advantage.

Late goals from Brad Walker and Michael Duckworth earned Pools a vital point but they remain at the bottom of the League Two table.
