Burton 2-1 Altrincham

John Brayford struck a stoppage time winner to earn Burton victory over Altrincham and send the hosts back into the Blue Square Premier play-off spots.

Burton got the breakthrough halfway through the second half when Shaun Harrad drilled in from 20 yards.

Altrincham levelled with a rare attack, Richard Battersby teeing up Greg Young to score from the edge of the box.

But Burton stole all three points when John McGrath swung in a corner and Brayford headed past Stuart Coburn.
