It was the late show at Harborough Town as the hosts strike late on against Sutton Coldfield Town to claim all three points at the death.

The game was open from the start, with chances falling for either side as Elliott Taylor parried the ball away following a ricochet off Aaron Forde, before Jonathan Brown had a nervous moment as he watched Dempsey Arlott-John’s effort curl narrowly wide.

Arlott-John would be awarded another opportunity in front of goal, this time from 12 yards due to a handball in the box, which he converted to put the Bees ahead.

Taylor would then go on to produce further excellent saves for Harborough, with the most notable being a 1v1 against Ryan Edmunds to keep the hosts ahead at half time.

The second half was one of fewer chances until a period of activity in the final ten minutes shaped the final score.

Rhys Hilton believed that he earnt his side a point on the road after cutting in from the right and beating Taylor at his near post with a low, driven shot, but it was Harborough who dealt the final blow, with Joel Carta slamming in the winner following a cutback from substitute Dan Forbes to secure the win and the three points.
