Greg Young's late header boosted Altrincham's survival hopes with a five-goal thriller against Kettering.

Damien Reeves put the Robins ahead with a penalty after Brett Solkhon fouled Carl Piergianni.

Kettering turned the match on its head with two superb strikes from distance from Jean-Paul Marna in the space of three first-half minutes.

Substitute Wes Baynes equalised for the Robins with a low shot and supplied the free-kick for Young to head the winner.
