10-man Hartlepool United come from a goal down to beat Hornchurch

Hartlepool United recovered from a goal and a man down to beat newly-promoted Hornchurch 2-1 on Saturday, a result that moves them clear of the National League relegation zone.

After an even opening period, 36-year-old Angelo Balanta capitalised on a rare error from Chelsea loanee Max Merrick, making his first Pools appearance since September 5, to put the visitors in front a minute after the restart.
