FC United kept the heat on leaders Salford City when they ran out 2-1 winners at Bacup Borough. But, the breakaway club had to come from behind to take the points after Andy Shepherd had given the home side the lead from the penalty spot on the half hour.

Rory Patterson levelled matters three minutes later and Stuart Rudd's 33rd goal of the season two minutes before the interval proved decisive.
