Wright equalised for Darlington deep into injury time

Tommy Wright scored a dramatic injury-time equaliser to earn Darlington a point at Mansfield Town.

Just nine minutes in, Mansfield's top scorer Paul Connor found himself unmarked and headed home into the bottom corner from Ashley Cain's cross.

Soon after the break, striker Tommy Wright had a great chance to equalise but he slipped and shot high and wide.

But seven minutes into injury time Wright made no mistake with a deft side foot from Chris Senior's cross.
