Nathan Not Modest With Last Gasp Winner
A late goal from 10-man Evesham United condemned Tiverton Town to their first league defeat since August as they won 3-2 this afternoon in Devon. It was Evesham’s sixth game without defeat.
The visitors took the lead in the 19th minute when Matt Sysum met Nick Stanley’s free-kick with his head to score.
The hosts equalised seven minutes later when James Mudge fired into the top corner.
Following the equaliser, neither side were able to create too many chances, with both sides’ defences on top.
Evesham were reduced to ten men in the 40th minute, when Ashley Williams received a straight red card for a tackle on Owen Howe.
Evesham retook the lead on the stroke of half-time when another Stanley free-kick into the box found captain Sysum unmarked at the back post, planting a well-placed header past the keeper for his second goal.
Evesham United: Sawyer, Dovey, Stanley, Williams, Sysum, Wellon, Brown (Wilson, 64), Wood, Mann (Harding, 46), Smith (Modest, 68), Green.
Subs (not used): Binns, Sloggett
