Alex Whitmore scores late winner as Fylde boost survival hopes
Posted Wednesday, March 11, 2020 by PA
Alex Whitmore headed a stoppage-time winner as Vanarama National League strugglers AFC Fylde claimed a vital 2-1 win at Dagenham & Redbridge.
The Coasters started the day 10 points from safety and looked set for a draw until Whitmore’s late intervention.
Sam Deering had a shot blocked before Fylde goalkeeper Josh Lillis palmed away a fierce effort by Myles Weston as the Daggers had the best of the first-half chances.
Mitch Brundle lofted the ball inches over the head of midfielder Angelo Balanta at the far post in the aftermath of a corner, but it remained a stalemate at the break.
Tom Walker broke the deadlock in the 48th minute when he got on to the end of Jordan Williams’ inch-perfect cross to steer the ball in.
Dagenham were back on level terms 10 minutes before full-time when Brundle tapped in Liam Gordon’s cross but there was still time for Whitmore to find a winner four minutes into added time.
