Manni Norkett earns Boston a point as Hartlepool stay unbeaten

Manni Norkett hammered home his first Boston goal to earn a 1-1 draw at unbeaten Hartlepool in the Enterprise National League.

The 20-year-old former Manchester United academy player struck nine minutes into the second half at the Prestige Stadium after Jacob Scott’s long throw was only partially cleared.

Pools opened the scoring in the 23rd minute when forward Luke Charman marked his first start of the season by cutting in from the left to curl an eye-catching effort into the top-right corner.

Midfielder Jamie Miley earlier sent a header against the visitors’ crossbar, while substitute Danny Johnson rattled the woodwork a minute from time as Simon Grayson’s hosts were held to a third consecutive draw.
