Lawson D'Ath's first goal for Dagenham & Redbridge has fired the Essex side into a 1-0 half-time lead at Burton Albion this afternoon.

The Reading loanee broke the deadlock at the Pirelli Stadium in the final minute of the opening period when he found the top corner from 30 yards.

Neither side have really settled during a scrappy 45 minutes, with a powerful wind making it difficult to play controlled football.

Burton have now failed to score a first-half goal in nine consecutive League Two games.
