Incredible scenes as York score 96th minute winner to go two points clear of Rochdale

There were incredible scenes as York City score a 96th minute winner to go two points clear of Rochdale in the National League.

The Minstermen grab a stoppage winner thanks to Malachi-Fagan Walcott, taking his side past the 100-point mark in the table.

York’s opponents Altrincham went ahead lead in the 36th minute, Jimmy Knowles sending a loose ball past the keeper on 36 minutes.

Ollie Banks got a leveller for the hosts immediately after with a superb finish finish, with Hiram Boateng also having a chance come back off the post.

Then came Fagan-Walcott, sparking wild scenes in from of a sold-out crowd. Rochdale could only draw 0-0 with Hartlepool at Victoria Park. 3 games to go, York and Rochdale meet on the last day of the season, as if you need reminding of that one.

@CallumCastel7: Seen some proper celebrations around the country today. Must feel unbelievable to properly enjoy a goal without having to sit there and wonder if it’ll get chalked off 5 minutes later

@JimibCalverley: @markkitch7 give him Clubman of the Year just for this. #ycfc

@gavgray: You gotta love it #ycfc

@Walwynstatue: I’m lost for words!

@talkaboutlufcv2: Does every York game have like 8 mins added on? Swear they score so many point(s) earning goals late.

@TheWelshYork: Watch kitch here I fucking love him #ycfc

@Mase_w19: He hasn’t dropped the ‘Take the L’ on him 😂 there’s a fucking belter 😂😂

@bensaunders1616: That guy taking the L in front of that players face 😭😭

@Yorktone: Watched York for many years, seen it all really, good, bad and worse, but this team, this squad, this whole club is the most complete, the most talented, the most lovable it’s ever been. A bona fide red and blue golden age is upon us. Lovely, lovely, LOVELY, stuff. Get in! #ycfc

@ggdotcom6787: This is the FIFTH TIER. Nothing tops the English football pyramid. Look at those scenes. Crazy how big the national league has felt over the last few years

@GeorgeJonesWxm: bloody hell I miss the national league days so much. don’t get me wrong I love the glory and financial power of being in the championship but the raw emotion of non league can’t be topped

@spattinson001: Football eh? Bloody hell! What a moment, what a team. The belief feels real after that. The emotions are high and still a way to go. What a season. Incredible! The fans today too simply unbelievable ❤️ #ycfc

@BenycfcMorrison: Relentless! Created chance after chance! Hit the bar, hit the post, balls just not dropping but they don’t stop, they don’t let their heads go down! Heads on & go win it lads, you absolutely deserve it! #ycfc #100goals #100points 🔴🔵🔴🔵

@moxon_will: Wow has the heart rate come down yet? At this stage performance doesn’t matter only result and Mal I love you 🤣🤣 really strong again today, plenty of chances but Alty defended really well. Centurions, crazy times 3 huge games! Onwards #ycfc

@78ajs: Oh Alty you beautiful time wasting bastards!!! 😍 GET IN!!! Kitching MOTM – absolute work horse 💪🏻 not everything went our way but the lads never stopped working trying to grab us the goal and the fans were top today, we definitely did our bit! 👏🏻 #ycfc 🔴🔵

@yorkhospball: You can’t beat injury time winners as a football fan but literally can’t beat that as a #YCFC fan when it gets you over 💯 points and increases gap over Rochdale. Incredible scenes. The whole culture has changed on and off the pitch and we need to enjoy every second of it ❤️

@Browny_90: Need to sit down at some point and work out every club record we’ve broken this season. Continuing our record run of successive matches scored in. Now the highest attendance at the LNER has been done and we’ve tied our all time highest points record. #ycfc

@JimibCalverley: The greatest club in the planet. What a team. The best season ever, Rochdale have made it so intense and completely enthralling. There could still be twists in the last three, but we’ve edged ahead….in the 96th minute. One job at a time, trust the process. KTF. #ycfc
