Benjamin Sesko had put the visitors on course for victory with a brilliant brace as the visitors bounced back from Ayden Heaven's early own goal, but the hosts dug deep and rode their luck to secure a share of the spoils."
"Fletcher confirmed post-match that he will be in charge for Sunday's FA Cup tie against Brighton, but it remains to be seen how long he will remain in his interim post after that as talks continue with leading candidates Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Michael Carrick. That duo's names were chanted by the away end during the early stages before a rendition of Darren Fletcher, football genius."

Fletcher confirmed he will lead the side for the FA Cup tie against Brighton as talks continue over a permanent manager.
