Darlington's Ian Miller is congratulated after scoring the winning goal in inury time. |
Darlington's Ian Miller grabbed an injury time winner to give the home side the advantage in the first leg of the League 2 Play-Off semi-final.
Events in the final minutes of the match have proved significant in all three play-off matches played so far and the actual impact of this period of the game will only be realised after the second legs have been played out next week.
Darlington took the lead when Jason Kennedy fired home in the top corner but the visitors pulled level when Chris Dagnall scored with a deflected shot.
Shakers' substitute Miller though was to steal the headlines, heading home Neil Wainwright's free-kick, two minutes into stoppage time.
