Morgan Whittaker gave the visitors the lead in the seventh minute but otherwise the Blues dominated the first half and levelled in injury time through a Bali Mumba own goal. George Hirst made it 2-1 nine minutes after the restart, then sub Marcus Harness made it 3-1 on 86 with keeper Vaclav Hladky having made a number of vital saves, but the Czech was beaten by Joe Edwards in injury time but Town saw out the final minutes to stretch their undefeated run to nine matches.
