A late Charlie Lakin penalty rescued a draw for League Two's bottom side Sutton against fellow strugglers Grimsby.

The visitors picked up another point on the road to safety, but it could have been more at Gander Green Lane.

Sutton had an early scare when goalkeeper Steve Arnold failed to gather a free-kick and Justin Obikwu's goalbound header was cleared off the line by Craig Eastmond.

But Arnold was more convincing when he saved Harry Clifton's low shot, and just before half-time he also foiled Obikwu at close range.

However, the Grimsby striker was not to be denied and, when Sutton failed to clear a corner, his neat flick found the corner of the net a minute before the break.

Sutton's first shot of note came from substitute Olly Sanderson but was comfortably wide.

Arnold was again called into action to save from Kieran Green, while Harvey Rodgers hit the bar with a header from Gavan Holohan's corner.

But Sutton salvaged a point when a handball was spotted by a referee's assistant following a corner and Lakin hammered the penalty past Harvey Cartwright with two minutes left.
