Darlington 2-1 York

Two goals in three minutes gave Darlington victory and dented York's hopes of claming a play-off place.

The hosts went in front when Tommy Wright powered a header from Liam Hatch's fine cross into the top corner.

Two minutes later Ian Miller doubled Darlington's lead with a powerful shot from 18 yards past Michael Ingham.

Chris Carruthers pulled a goal back for the visitors, striking home from 12 yards, but it was not enough for York, who are three points off the play-offs.
