Colchester beat Carlisle

9:45pm Tuesday 2nd February 2010

By Jonathan Waldron

Kayode Odejayi scored a late winner as Colchester United came from behind to beat Carlisle United 2-1.

Odejayi thumped home from fellow substitute Ian Henderson's assist in the second minute of stoppage-time to help the U's turn things around, at the Weston Homes Community Stadium.

Ian Harte headed Carlisle ahead midway through the first half from Graham Kavanagh's corner.

But Clive Platt headed in John-Joe O'Toole's cross at the far post to equalise for Colchester just after the hour.

And Odejayi completed the comeback in stoppage-time to give the U's a precious three points, in Coca-Cola League One.
