AFC Telford United 2-3 Dartford
- From the section Football
Danny Ventre's own-goal in injury time gave Dartford victory over fellow Conference strugglers Telford.
Dartford took the lead through Andy Pugh, but the home side levelled from Tony Gray's penalty.
Godfrey Poku was sent off for the hosts in the second half for violent conduct as Pugh headed in his second.
Gray bundled in Telford's equaliser with eight minutes to go, before Ventre's 92nd-minute goal, and Pugh was dismissed for a second yellow.
AFC Telford United goalkeeping coach Andy Pryce told BBC Radio Shropshire:
"It's very disappointing when you look at the three goals and dissect each one. Dartford haven't really had a shot on goal. We've had three defensive mistakes and let them win the game.
"We haven't had any luck today. We got back in to the game twice. Tony Gray is a quality player and, when we can find the pockets for him to play in, he has to be one of the best strikers in the league."
"We still have 14 games. We need to give people some legs and come back again to get confidence and look ahead to Forest Green next Saturday."
