Hartlepool fight back from 3-0 down to draw eight-goal thriller at Wealdstone

Mitch Hancox netted an added-time equaliser as Hartlepool claimed a dramatic 4-4 comeback draw at Wealdstone in the National League.

Max Kretzschmar opened the scoring for Wealdstone after just four minutes before Sean Adarkwa doubled the advantage nine minutes later.

Adarkwa added his second of the afternoon after 28 minutes only for Callum Cooke and Joe Grey to provide the visitors hope with two quick goals on the stroke of half-time.

Adarkwa looked to have put the match out of reach when he completed his hat-trick after 76 minutes, but Josh Umerah pulled one back for Hartlepool before Hancox stole a point in stoppage time.
