Hereford scored late on to win a five-goal thriller against Stockport at Edgeley Park.

The Hatters took the lead when Swedish forward Adnan Cirak tapped in after good work from Mark Cullen.

Luke Graham headed the visitors level with his second goal of the season before Ryan Bowman put the Bulls ahead.

County equalised through James Tunnicliffe, but Hereford midfielder Josh O'Keefe nodded in a later winner from close range to seal the points.
