ROBBIE Matthews headed Whites level on 41 minutes, rising to meet an inch-perfect Mike Fowler cross.

City, behind to a fourth minute penalty, have been in scintillating form and ought to be going in at half-time at least two goals to the good.

Matt Tubbs has twice forced United keeper Scott Tynan to save, while a stunning effort by the England National XI striker from a well-worked free kick struck the outside of the post.

Half-time 1-1.
