A last-minute Tommy Wright header completed a dramatic fightback for Darlington as they came from two goals down to draw with Altrincham.

Chris Denham opened the scoring shortly after half-time with a low drive from the edge of the area.

But the game truly sprang into life once Dale Johnson prodded home Ryan Brown's free-kick with 12 minutes left.

Firstly Stuart Coburn diverted a cross into his own net before Wright struck to head home Josh Gray's centre.
