ARCHDALES 73 threw away a valuble three points in Midland Combination Division One after a dismal second-half display saw them lose 5-3.
After dominating the first-half, Dales went into the break leading 1-0 thanks to a Lee Seldon penalty.
Jason Beck was fouled in the area and Seldon was on hand to score his 18th goal of the season.
Dales added a second early in the second-half from a powerful Beck header off a Duncan Edwards corner.
But Dales were put under immense pressure which paid off for Northfield who scored five goals in 25 minutes.
Beck did added a third eight minutes from time but it was too little too late.
Before the game, boss Phil Stoddart named left-back Ashley Banner captain for the remainder of the season.
