Tamworth leave it late to beat Braintree

Tamworth benefited from a lucky break to claim a last-gasp 1-0 victory over Braintree.

There had been nothing to split the National League sides for 90 minutes, with few clear-cut chances for either team.

Tamworth then had the ball in the net only for it to be ruled out for offside, but there was still time for the visitors to find an unlikely winner.

Tom Tonks’ long-range strike looked to be hopeful at best until it took a freak deflection and looped over the keeper and into the net four minutes into added time!
