MACCLESFIELD substitute keeper Steve Wilson produced one of the goalkeeping performances of the season with a series of sensational saves to earn Macclesfield a vital point in their push for promotion.

The Silkmen had all the early chances with Kevin Townson twice testing Paul Musselwhite first with a long-range shot and then with a close range header.

Michael Welch then saw a header cleared off the line. Thereafter Scunthorpe dominated.

In the 33rd minute Wilson tipped an Andy Keogh lob onto the bar before getting up to block Matt Sparrow's return.

In the second half he finger-tipped a Michael Rankin drive over the bar before blocking at the feet of powerful Steve Torpey.

As the Irons pressed Wilson made another remarkable double save blocking a shot from Rankin before palming aside a drive from Cleveland Taylor. Tweet
