Sutton and York maintained their unbeaten starts to the season after playing out an entertaining 2-2 draw at Gander Green Lane.

Joe Felix fired wide for the visitors in the first minute, while Jayden Harris should have done better with a 13th-minute chance for Sutton, finding the side-netting.

It was York who opened the scoring two minutes into the second half when Dipo Akinyemi raced onto a ball over the top and squared for Marvin Armstrong to score.

Their lead did not last long, though, as Will Davies, playing against his former club, headed home a Lewis Simper cross in the 50th minute.

Sutton took the lead after 73 minutes when substitute Josh Coley looped in a header, but after York striker Ollie Pearce had seen an equaliser ruled out for a foul on the goalkeeper, he turned provider for City’s late equaliser, picking out Lenell John-Lewis to tap the ball home.
