Greg Abbott reveals the party atmosphere in the Carlisle United dressing room after they salvaged a 3-3 draw against Yeovil Town.

Carlisle United manager Greg Abbott has revealed that his players celebrated their 3-3 draw against Yeovil Town on Saturday afternoon as if they had "won the World Cup".

Carlisle scored two goals in injury time to claim an unlikely draw against playoff-chasing Yeovil, and Abbott felt that is was no more than they deserved.

"The equaliser was bizarre, but it went in our favour for once," Abbott told PA Sport.

"Even with my optimism I thought the game was gone. It's a great reward for the players to score three goals against a side bound for the play offs.

"You would have thought we had won the World Cup in the dressing room afterwards. The two late goals gave us the reward we deserved and over the 90 minutes there was not a great gulf between the sides."

Carlisle are now eight points clear of the League One drop zone.
