The much anticipated clash between Lynn and Fylde lived up to expectations with Lynn fighting back from 3-1 down to earn a point which keeps them at the top of the table.
The first half belonged to the hosts with the Mill Farm team threatening early on. Leading scorer Nick Haughton, making his first start in five matches, caused Lynn problems throughout. An early corner from him eventually finding Alex Whitmore but Lynn 'keeper Paul Jones was quickly off his line to collect.
On 24 minutes, however, on-loan striker Modou Faal who got on the end of a Danny Whitehead flick on to put the hosts ahead.
Three goals in five minutes produced a rousing finish to the half. Lynn levelled against the run of play through Ben Stephens who lifted the ball over home keeper Chris Neal but in time added on
Luke Colan turned Faal's cross-goal header into the net and then a Haughton free kick deflected off the defensive wall make it 3-1.
After a quiet start after the break Lynn pulled a goal back through Josh Barrett following a fine run into the box.
With the Coasters's failing to produce much in attack, Lynn levelled matters when the Fled defence failed to deal with a high ball into the area and Gold Omotayo volleyed into the far corner.
