Scott High scored a late winner as Halifax recovered from two goals down to beat Tamworth 3-2 in the Vanarama National League.

Haydn Hollis struck from close range to give the Lambs a fourth-minute lead, which Jasbir Singh preserved with a fine save from Billy Waters.

Dan Creaney scored his third goal in as many games shortly after the half-hour mark to double Tamworth’s advantage and put them on course for a third away win in a row.

Waters tapped in to get Halifax back in the game after 62 minutes and, after Andrew Oluwabori hit the bar for the hosts, Jamie Cooke equalised with a deflected effort and High won it with a 25-yard strike in stoppage time.
