Marvin Morgan fired home a stunning last-gasp winner as Aldershot came from behind late on to beat Northampton 2-1.

Morgan twisted and turned past two defenders before smashing past Chris Dunn on 89 minutes, just nine minutes after Scott Donnelly had hauled the Shots level with a controversial penalty.

There was little sign of the late drama as the visitors coped far better from the outset with the driving rain and blustery wind.

It was no surprise when Northampton cashed in on their dominance, Adebayo Akinfenwa playing in Luke Guttridge who drilled under Mikhael Jaimez-Ruiz on 18 minutes.

Aldershot improved after the break but were still unable to fashion any clear-cut chances despite a glut of possession.

But all that changed late on with Paul Rogers adjudged to have pulled back Anthony Charles.

Donnelly's original spot-kick was saved by Dunn but encroachment saw the penalty retaken, and Donnelly made no mistake before Morgan hit the winner.
