Darlington striker Gregg Blundell was surprisingly pleased with himself after his last-gasp equaliser against former club Chester City.

Blundell netted a controversial late penalty at the Deva Stadium to secure a 1-1 draw for the Quakers, after referee Mr Singh had adjudged that Laurence Wilson had fouled the forward just inside the area.

Blundell, who spent 18 months with the Blues, said afterwards: "It may have been outside the box to be honest, but these things even themselves out over the course of the season.

"From my point of view, I was glad to see the ref award it and glad to see it find the back of the net.

"It's always difficult going back to your old club and it would have been nice to get the winner, rather than the equaliser."
