Last updated on 4 hours ago4 hours ago.From the section League Twocomments20Shaun McWilliams' goal was his first for his hometown club Shaun McWilliams snatched all three points for his hometown club as Northampton claimed a dramatic win over fellow promotion hopefuls Stevenage at the Lamex Stadium. Louis Appere stepped up to convert an early penalty to give Northampton the lead but Stevenage levelled before half-time through Danny Rose. In a pulsating final 10 minutes, Kieron Bowie's thunderbolt made it 2-1 to the visitors before Alex Gilbey appeared to have snatched a point for Stevenage when he equalised four minutes later. However, McWilliams had the final say with an 87th-minute winner as the Cobblers, who lost Danny Hylton to a late red card, moved to within two points of Stevenage, who have fallen behind Leyton Orient at the top of League Two. Appere put Northampton 1-0 up from the spot after he surged into the box inside the opening 30 seconds and Terence Vancooten scythed him down inside the area. Stevenage had not managed a shot until former Cobbler Rose poked the ball beyond Lee Burge in the 35th minute to make it 1-1. The late drama began in the 81st minute when Bowie unleashed an unstoppable rocket past Taye Ashby-Hammond before Gilbey pounced to slam home from a corner in the 86th minute. But a minute later McWilliams swept in at the back post before Hylton was dismissed for raising his hand to Dan Sweeney. Match report supplied by PA Media.Line-upsMatch StatsLive TextLine-ups

18:50Pity Hylton saw red mist late on as his second half contributions have been very important.Scoring goals is the key difference between this season and last.Depth of squad also a key factor.40TComment posted by TimeIsButAConcept today at 18 48TimeIsButAConcept
18:48I think both sides would agree on who the worst person on the pitch was. Game too big for him. Boro need a bit more creativity in the middle.01MReply posted by mark palmer today at 19 00mark palmer

Boro need a bit more creativity in the middle."mark palmer replied: I agree, they get a lot of flak the officials but the ref and his little team were truly dreadful today. He did get the penalty right but that was about it. I’d like to have seen Reeves on the pitch01CComment posted by cobblerslad today at 18 35cobblerslad
