Macclesfield 1 (Diagne 60), Oxford Utd 1 (R Hall 90+3) Rob Hall scored an injury-time equaliser as Oxford United maintained their impressive away form with a dramatic draw at Macclesfield today.
The on-loan West Ham striker, who only came on at half-time, fired home in the third minute of stoppage time to give Chris Wilder's side a point.
It had looked as though the hosts would take the victory after Tony Diagne's goal on the hour mark put Macclesfield ahead.
After a scramble in the box, a shot from Scott Boden hit the underside of the bar, and then when the ball bounced down, Diagne headed home.
James Constable had a great chance to equalise, but was denied by a superb save from Macclesfield goalkeeper Jose Veiga in the final minute.
Damian Batt's deep cross was met by the head of United's leading scorer, but his effort was kept out by a fine reaction save.
However, Hall had other ideas and his tidy finish earned Oxford a point.
