Long Eaton secured a valuable point late in their match against Belper after James Taylor scored an equaliser in the closing moments of the game. The visitors fell behind just nine minutes into the contest when Tavonga Kuleya cut inside from the left and fired a low shot into the net. Kuleya remained a significant threat throughout, nearly adding a second goal in the second half as a deflected effort rattled the woodwork.

Belper appeared to have restored parity in the 66th minute when Jahvan Davidson-Miller netted, but the goal was disallowed due to offside. Despite this setback, Long Eaton persisted and ultimately found their breakthrough in the 88th minute. A lapse in the Belper defense presented an opportunity, which Taylor seized by striking decisively from close range to level the score.

The match ended in a draw, preserving Long Eaton’s unbeaten run and earning them a crucial point on their home ground. Belper, despite their early advantage and continued attacking efforts, were unable to hold their lead or capitalize on the disallowed goal. The result reflects a closely contested encounter, with both sides showing moments of strong offensive play.
