Robbie Williams' last-minute equaliser won a point for Altrincham and frustrated Rushden & Diamonds.

The hosts went in front when Nicky Clee's cross was headed in by Damian Reeves, but the lead did not last long.

Robbie Lawton fouled Jamie Day in the box and Rene Howe scored from the spot, before Aaron O'Connor put the visitors ahead with a close-range finish.
