However, the visitors went ahead through Billy Logan on 27 minutes and looked set to hold their lead until Morton struck.

Brighouse are now eighth in the Evo Stik NPL’s First Division North, two places behind yesterday’s visitors.

A trip to Farsley Celtic, who are fourth after a 3-2 win at Colne yesterday, is the next fixture for Paul Quinn’s side next Saturday.
