CHRIS Senior claimed a dramatic last-gasp winner as Darlington won the FA Trophy final at Wembley.[LNB] Senior headed home the only goal of the game in the final minute of extra-time as Quakers beat Mansfield 1-0.[LNB] It looked as though penalties were inevitable as Aaron Brown launched a long throw into the Mansfield penalty area in the 120th minute.[LNB] But after Tommy Wright's header looped off the top of the crossbar, substitute Senior was on hand to head home from two yards out.[LNB] The goal was scored at the end housing around 10,000 Darlington supporters, who immediately went delirious.[LNB] The goal was no more than Quakers deserved, as they had already hit the woodwork twice, first through Marc Bridge-Wilkinson and then through Liam Hatch.[LNB] Louis Briscoe wasted Mansfield's best effort when he headed over from six yards on the stroke of half-time while Marc-Bridge Wilkinson's free-kick rattled the bar in the final minute for Darlington before Senior met Aaron Brown's long-throw with seconds remaining.[LNB] ** WILL THIS HISTORIC WIN KICKSTART THE QUAKERS NEXT SEASON WHAT SHOULD THE TEAM DO NOW LEAVE A COMMENT BELOW.[LNB]
