The defender cut inside to fire home from the edge of the penalty area after 71 minutes to decide Saturday's scrappy League Two encounter at Victoria Road.[LNB]There was precious little goalmouth action in the first half as Marlon Pack volleyed well over the crossbar, while Adebayo Akinfenwa had a header claimed by Tony Roberts.[LNB]The action improved after the break as Akinfenwa lobbed over, while Chris Dunn tipped Damien McCrory's cross-shot around the post.[LNB]Johnson then found the top corner of the net to put the Cobblers ahead, but Town were thankful to keeper Dunn for keeping them ahead as he made a stunning save from Peter Gain's volley.[LNB]Dagenham kept pushing for an equaliser but leading scorer Paul Benson spurned two late headers. Debutant McCrory almost grabbed a last-minute leveller but his blasted shot was blocked, while Gain had the last chance but his left-footed drive was deflected to safety.[LNB][LNB]
