Pritchard swoops late to snatch a point for Latics

Latics drew 2-2 at Dagenham & Redbridge

Joe Pritchard grabbed a dramatic stoppage-time equaliser for Latics as they extended their winless National League run to four games with a draw at Dagenham.

The Daggers grabbed the opener on the stroke of half-time when young forward Aaron Loupalo-Bi – on loan from Fulham – spun his marker in the box and lashed home his first goal for the club.

Latics were back on level terms early in the second half when Jordan Rossiter's low cross was turned in by Mike Fondop.

Dagenham regained the lead from the penalty spot in the 67th minute, with Ryan Hill converting after Tom Eastman had been tripped in the box.

Goalkeeper Louis Jones denied Jake Caprice with eight minutes remaining, but Micky Mellon's Latics were not to be denied and Pritchard coolly converted in the fifth minute of time added on.

Boss Mellon, who had clashed with a fan as he and the players left the field for the half-time interval, said: "I said to the boys that came on every credit to you for how you helped us to turn that around because they certainly did, all the subs that came on made a real good impact on us to get something from the game."

Latics, who are now fifth in the table, host table-topping Barnet next time out, on Saturday.
