Dagenham & Redbridge boss John Still was full of praise for his have-a-go heroes after a dramatic late fightback against Macclesfield maintained their high-flying form.

The visitors were hit hard in the ninth minute when left-back Abu Ogogo was sent off for a thigh-high challenge on Hamza Bencherif.

Macclesfield then established a seemingly comfortable two-goal lead before Wesley Thomas handed Daggers a lifeline and Mark Arber levelled in stoppage time shortly after their opponents had also been reduced to 10 men.

Still said: "We went down to 10 men early on but we never went 4-4-1, instead playing 3-4-2 and I said 'Listen, they're going to create chances but we're going to create some too. If we're going to go down we're going to go down having a go'.

"I would've rather lost 3-2 than had the 2-2 draw so long as we were still going for the win at the end and we might've had that when Mark Arber hit the post in the dying seconds.

"I've got a very, very enthusiastic have-a-go football team."
