Stevenage consolidate League Two top spot after hard-fought draw against Gillingham

Stevenage remain two points clear at the top of League Two after earning a hard-fought point in a 1-1 draw at Gillingham over the weekend.

Boro boss Steve Evans returned to his former club at the Priestfield Stadium on Saturday to extend his team's unbeaten league run to five games.

The visitors went ahead through Danny Rose's emphatic header from Saxon Earley's ball.

Indonesian defender Elkan Baggott's first goal in English football, nodding in from Will Wright's dead ball, levelled the scores five minutes before the break.
