Hartlepool hit back to earn a point in a 1-1 draw against 10-player Woking.

A largely lifeless first half passed with one major talking point when Woking’s Chinwike Okoli was sent off 10 minutes before the break.

He brought down Emmanuel Dieseruvwe in a last-player foul so it was a surprise when his side went ahead in the 54th minute.

Harry Beautyman’s cross was turned past his own keeper by the unfortunate David Ferguson to put the visitors on course for victory.

But Luke Charman had other ideas, levelling with 23 minutes left with a header from a Nicky Featherstone free-kick.

Reyes Clearly then hit the bar for Pools, but there would be no winner.
