Jon Wallis and Jacob Erskine proved the match winners as Dartford came from behind to claim a 2-1 win at Salisbury City in Blue Square Bet South on Saturday.

It looked like being a long trip home for Tony Burman's men when they fell behind after just two minutes. Stuart Anderson's shot took a fortunate deflection to leave Dartford keeper Louis Wells stranded.

But Wallis (pictured) found an equaliser for the visitors after 25 minutes when his free-kick beat on-loan Charlton keeper Conor Gough in the Salisbury goal. Gough failed to deal with the tricky bounce after Wallis' shot from 25 yards squeezed in.

After the break, Adam Green cleared a Salisbury effort off the goal-line, before Erskine headed in Wallis' free-kick on 62 minutes to put the visitors 2-1 ahead. His robust 50-50 challenge with Gough ended up with the youngster being stretchered off wearing an oxygen mask.

Green then squandered a chance shortly after to stretch Dartford's lead as he headed wide from an Elliot Bradbrook cross.

But, the visitors clung on for all three points after eight minutes were added on in stoppage time following Gough's injury.

The win keeps Dartford fourth in the table.

How big a morale boost was this for Dartford after last weekend's FA Cup exit?
