COLCHESTER United played out a 1-1 draw with Sutton United, on Saturday afternoon.
The U's looked like they were heading for a fourth successive victory after Arthur Read had given them an 80th-minute lead.
But former Colchester defender Omar Sowunmi netted a stoppage-time equaliser for Sutton, to ensure a share of the spoils at the JobServe Community Stadium.
Here are the Gazette player ratings, following the U's draw.

Played out of position as a left wing-back and made his fair share of timely challenges
TOM DALLISON 6
Produced a solid display on his first league start for nearly two months. Booked
ZACH MITCHELL 6
Teenage defender was a competent performer at the heart of the U’s defence and generally dealt with Smith’s physical threat

Was a competent performer on the left side of the U’s three-man defence
ARTHUR READ 8
U’s man of the match. Scored an outstanding goal and was impressive throughout. Booked
CAMERON MCGEEHAN 6
Played his part in Read’s goal but conceded the free-kick that led to Sutton equaliser. Booked

Missed a golden opportunity on the stroke of half-time when he blasted over but provided pass for Taylor’s chance
