Stockport 2 Manchester City 2

Bojinov - scored for Manchester City.

Manchester City twice fought back from a goal down to earn a 2-2 draw with Stockport in a pre-season friendly at Edgeley Park.

Anthony Pilkington put County ahead in the 65th minute when he slotted the ball past goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel from close range after neat build-up play.

Mark Hughes' side equalised 12 minutes later when Valeri Bojinov headed a home a Nedum Onuoha cross from the left.

Peter Thompson looked like he had given his side victory when he smashed the ball into the net from six yards out in the 86th minute but Ched Evans was brought down inside the penalty area in injury-time.

The Wales international, a 57th-minute replacement for Rolando Bianchi, dusted himself down and sent goalkeeper Owain Fon Williams the wrong way from the resulting spot-kick.
