A Billy Kee header helped crisis-club Accrington to a much-needed win against League two strugglers Darlington.
The Northern Ireland striker nodded in Luke Joyce's right-wing cross to secure all the spoils after 83 minutes.
Stanley began well when captain Andy Procter headed the opener following John Miles' fine left-wing cross.
The hosts hit the woodwork four times before Quakers striker Kevin Gall equalised by lobbing over Ian Dunbavin which set up the frantic finale.
