York City twice come from behind to earn a draw against Crawley Town but remain seven points adrift of safety.
Matt Harrold scored Crawley's first, however Luke Summerfield equalised with a penalty when Lewis Alessandra's run was stopped by Jon Ashton.
The visitors went ahead through Liam McAlinden's low shot, but Michael Coulson's curling 15-yard strike found the top corner to make it 2-2.
Crawley remain 16th in League Two while York's winless runs extends to eight.
York City manager Jackie McNamara told BBC Radio York:
"I think it's two points dropped. We should have won that.
"We lost two very poor goals again. I don't think Scott Flinders has had an entire save to make in the whole match.
"In terms of normal open play they didn't cause us one problem. "But being on the back foot has cost us."
Crawley Town boss Mark Yates told BBC Surrey:
"We are five unbeaten now and we probably could've won it but today we've come to a place where they are fighting for their lives.
"The only slight criticism of my team is that I felt we started well in the opening 10 minutes and I felt we allowed them back into the game.
"My group are honest and I think we can be relatively pleased that we stuck at it and perhaps had a few chances to win it."
