Charlie Blakemore scrored the best goal of the game to bring the scores level at 2-2, he received the ball just outside the area, expertly brought it under control by flicking the ball over the last defender, before planting a low right footed shot into the bottom corner of the goal, reminiscent of Paul Gascoigne's strike v Scotland in Euro, '96.
