Port Vale 1-1 Colchester United
Luke Norris’s second half ‘worldy’ ensured the region’s three League Two teams enjoyed a rare unbeaten matchday.
The former Dagenham & Redbridge loanee’s 65th-minute strike cancelled out the livewire, Devante Rodney’s 57th-minute effort, for a previously dominant, mid-table Vale.
This point in the Potteries leaves the U’s comfortably in the play-off zone, with Leyton Orient – winners against top-of-the-table Newport County – hot on their heels, and extends their unbeaten run to four league games.
