RESERVE goalkeeper Chris Porter made a last minute penalty save to earn York City a 2-2 draw at Darlington.

Youth striker Robbie Haw fired the Minstermen ahead at the Williamson Motors Stadium on the stroke of half time, and Lev Yalcin responded to the challenge minutes after Gavin Parkin's equaliser was turned into a lead by Dale Mendum to remind Chris Brass of his capabilities.

The point was City's first in four games but keeps them at the bottom of the Pontin's Holiday League.

Defender David McGurk, who has been on loan with City this season, played for the Quakers.
