Dan Creaney scored twice as Tamworth came from behind to win 2-1 at home to Dagenham in the National League.

Nathan Muya Tshikuna had a golden chance to give Tamworth the lead when one-on-one with Elliot Justham, but the goalkeeper pulled off a fine save to keep out his poked effort.

Dagenham went in front in the 31st minute as Oscar Rutherford’s throw found Harry Phipps in the area and his shot took a huge deflection to beat Jasbir Singh.

The hosts levelled in the 56th minute when Tshikuna powered forward and stabbed a pass into Creaney, who fired home.

And the pair combined again for the winner 20 minutes later. Tshikuna’s corner picked out his team-mate and Creaney’s header bounced into the ground and in.

Dagenham finished the game with 10 men after Romoney Crichlow was sent off for a second yellow card.
