Nurse stabs home winner in play-off as Daggers promoted

JON NURSE’S scrambled goal gave Dagenham & Redbridge a remarkable promotion and victory in a pulsating Coca-Cola League Two play-off final at Wembley yesterday.

Dagenham twice led through Paul Benson and Danny Green only to see Millers striker Ryan Taylor swiftly level twice but Nurse’s scruffy strike with 20 minutes left proved enough to see off Ronnie Moore’s men.

The Daggers took the lead in the 38th minute through the prolific Benson. Benson showed his predatory instincts to kill the ball with one touch before curling a shot into the bottom corner.
