 FC United's Evo-Stik Premier promotion hopes are still in the balance after they were held 1-1 by relegated Burscough at Gigg Lane on Wednesday night.

Dean Stott gave the Rebels a 44th minute lead when he blasted in a penalty awarded for a foul on Stephen Johnson.

But the visitors equalised midway through the second-half after Adam Jones's handball offered Phil Clarke the chance to level from the spot.
