COLCHESTER United came from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 at Scunthorpe United, on Saturday afternoon.

Second-half goals from Luke Norris and Luke Prosser cancelled out strikes from Abo Eisa and Kevin van Veen, for the hosts.

It was an entertaining encounter at Glanford Park, as the U's made it six games unbeaten in League Two.

The Gazette's Jon Waldron gives his assessment of the U's performance, as John McGreal's side claimed a good away point.
