Harry Phipps scored with a last-gasp header to salvage Dagenham a point from a 1-1 draw at Altrincham in the Vanarama National League.

Dagenham’s Myles Weston hit the goal frame in the 24th minute and Altrincham came close to opening the scoring deep into first-half stoppage time as Chris Conn-Clarke’s shot was deflected out for a corner.

Conn-Clarke came knocking again in the last 20 minutes but his attempt was kept out and Regan Linney skied the rebound.

Altrincham finally got off the mark in the 79th minute after a touch from Dior Angus was pounced on by Conn-Clarke.

But Phipps met Josh Hare’s corner to level the scores in the eighth minute of stoppage time.
