Fleetwood Town 1-2 Port Vale

Colin Daniel had not scored in seven previous appearances this season

Colin Daniel inspired Port Vale as they fought back from a goal down to beat Fleetwood at Highbury.

Bobby Grant had put the hosts in front on 14 minutes when he beat two men inside the box before hammering a low shot into the far corner.

However, Vale changed things at half-time and substitute Daniel levelled with a long-range drive on 56 minutes.

Nine minutes later, Daniel was then tripped in the box by Victor Nirennold and Sam Foley converted the penalty.

Vale boss Rob Page told BBC Radio Stoke:

"I chose my words very carefully at half time and made it quite clear that it was a million miles off what we are all about.

"The first-half performance wasn't acceptable. Thankfully we had a reaction. It showed our character to come from a goal behind and win.

"I felt we had to change it at half time if we were to get anything. Colin Daniel was outstanding in the second half and the first person who went to congratulate him on his performance was Uche Ikpeazu. That says a lot. It is about the squad performance, not just the 11 that are out there."
