Ben Tollitt nets penalty equaliser as Oldham share spoils with sorry Scunthorpe

Ben Tollitt’s penalty secured Oldham a 2-2 National League draw against Scunthorpe at Boundary Park.

On-loan striker David Okagbue headed in Tollitt’s corner to give Oldham a seventh-minute lead.

Rob Apter benefited from more indecisive home defending on the stroke of half-time after Nuttall’s effort had been blocked.
