Worthing FC Official Website
Worthing eased to a comfortable win over a shot-shy Hornchurch, who were only prevented from suffering a heavier defeat by a Man of the Match performance from goalie, Callum Chafer.
It was a case of The Late, Late Show at The Fullicks Stadium, as David Ajiboye pounced in the eighty-eighth minute to end the hosts’ thirteen-match unbeaten home run.
Both teams battled against the elements at a rather breezy Bibby but, it was Worthing who coped best with the conditions to come out on top and leave Whitehawk still looking nervously over their shoulders.
A broken down coach failed to dampen the spirits of Brightlingsea, as they returned home with a point from a game that will be remembered more for what went on off the ball, than on it.
Not for the first time this season, Worthing refused to lie down and headed home with a point, thanks to a dramatic late equaliser, this time, from Jesse Starkey.
Two goals from substitute, David Ajiboye saw Worthing recover from going one-nil down to complete the double over struggling Wingate & Finchley, in a repeat scoreline of their opening day victory.
Ollie Pearce led the scoring, on an extraordinary afternoon at The Bibby Financial Services Stadium, in an incredible 9-1 rout of Harlow Town.
For the second time in four days, Worthing needed a stoppage time equaliser from Jalen Jones, to rescue a point from a game that, quite frankly, neither side deserved anything from.
Worthing led 2-1 with nine minutes to go but in the end were grateful for a stoppage time equaliser from Jalen Jones, as a see-saw game ended three-all.
A fairly quiet first-half was followed by a polar opposite second, as both sides contributed to a far more entertaining affair after the break but, it was Worthing who emerged victorious.
