Rumarn Burrell was in the target since Burton affirmed the point they needed to ensure the security of the League one in his penultimate game of the season after a 1-1 draw with Wigan at the Pirelli stadium.
The 11th goal of the striker’s campaign seemed to have given Albion the three points until Ronan Darcy curled out in an effort from the distance in the final moments of the detention time of the second half to claim a part of the loot.
The hosts were safe before the game, courtesy of their goals difference, but their point confirmed the descent for both Crawley and Bristol Rovers before the last weekend of the season.
The first half lacked clear goal attempts from each side. Albion began positively, but could not design a clear opportunity in Sam Tickle’s goal.
Charlie Webster, upon his return from the suspension, had the best albion view to the goal when he exploded in Finn Deap’s pass, but shot over.
Wigan, the lowest scorers in the division, threatened with a series of corners at the end of half, but the local team defended stubbornly.
His best opportunity fell to the former Burton Jonny Smith end, who shot directly to the goalkeeper Max Crocombe.
But Burton obtained the goal that yearned for almost the brand of the hour. Saturday’s hero, Dylan Williams, supplied the cross, the Mason Bennett forced an exceptional tickle salvation, but the top scorer Burrell was present to bury the rebound.
Dale Taylor approached an equalizer twice when he fired a growing trip on the crossbar before forcing a good crocombe salvation.
Darcy finally surpassed the Guardian of Albion with a speculative effort from almost the last kick of the game.
