Johnstone saves a point for Brewers
Denny Johnstone broke Carlisle hearts by grabbing a 1-1 draw for leaders Burton with the last kick of the game.The Birmingham loanee struck with a left-foot shot in the eighth minute of added time to take Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's side two points clear at the top of Sky Bet League Two.Burton looked doomed when full-back Damien McCrory's penalty was saved three minutes into stoppage time, but Johnstone pounced on a loose ball in a goalmouth scramble to extend the hosts' unbeaten run to nine games.Skipper Danny Grainger stunned the hosts by giving Carlisle a second-minute lead with a terrific 25-yard free-kick.United rode their luck as Burton piled forward in search of the equaliser. Grainger's goalline clearance denied Tom Naylor and keeper Mark Gillespie kept out Stuart Beavon's close-range shot before a McCrory effort hit the woodwork.The visitors were under siege again after the break and Gillespie brilliantly got his fingertips to McCrory's 18-yard free-kick.And the Carlisle keeper surpassed himself with his penalty save after Beavon had been upended - only for Johnstone to have the final say.
