Notts County keeper Kevin Pilkington pulled off a number of fine saves in a thrilling home draw against Darlington.

Delroy Facey twice went close for County in the early stages and defender Michael Johnson hit the bar with a towering header late in the game.

But Darlington had the better chances with Billy Clarke and Steve Foster forcing fine saves from Pilkington.

He also did superbly to touch Clarke's shot on to the bar and Jason Kennedy hit the post with a fine strike.
