Osborne pounces late to earn Bees a point

Karleigh Osborne's late strike secured a 1-1 draw for Brentford as Darlington lost top spot in the League Two table. After a drab first half, Darlington finally broke the deadlock on the hour mark as Franz Burgmeier's left-wing cross was headed home by Richie Foran, who scored for a second successive league game. Foran could have added a second, but his effort was saved by Ben Hamer. Brentford substitute Nathan Elder hit a post before Marcus Bean fired the rebound wide. But the Bees weren't to be denied a point as Osborne netted a close-range equaliser in injury-time.
