A 74th-minute header by Delroy Facey saved Notts County from a fourth straight defeat as they drew 1-1 at home against Accrington Stanley.

Stanley were on course for their second away win of the week until Myles Weston tricked his way past Phil Edwards and Facey glanced in the cross.

A draw was a fair result in a game seriously affected by the wind but for a long time it seemed James Ryan's 17th-minute goal would win it for Stanley.

Ryan was allowed to carry the ball some 30 yards down the left touchline and when no-one put in a challenge as he cut in, he fired a shot straight through goalkeeper Kevin Pilkington.

Jamie Clapham cleared off the line from Craig Lindfield as Stanley finished the first half strongly and in the second period, County were also denied by a goal-line clearance - Peter Cavanagh clearing from Mike Edwards.

County had the better of the second period but struggled to get shots on target until Facey's goal. After that both sides had chances to grab a late winner.
