Hereford missed the chance to keep the heat on the top two after losing a 2-0 lead at home to struggling Chester City.

Kevin Ellison calmly slotted home a last minute penalty after John McCombe handled in the area.

The result comes as a massive blow to the Bulls especially after leading with goals from skipper Ben Smith and later Gary Hooper.
