Williamson nets late winner as Eastleigh down fellow play-off hopefuls Sutton
Posted Sunday, January 20, 2019 by PA
Eastleigh improved their chances of a Vanarama National League play-off place as Ben Williamson’s late goal earned them a 3-2 victory over Sutton.
The hosts got off to a quickfire start when Andrew Boyce bundled home from close range after Mark Yeates’ corner caused chaos in the Sutton penalty area.
But the visitors were level two minutes before the break when Gime Toure latched onto a long ball and rounded Eastleigh goalkeeper Luke Southwood, despite the efforts of Reda Johnson who slipped as he looked to dispossess the forward, before tapping into an empty net.
Eastleigh regained the lead just after the hour-mark when Josh Hare fired home from range, although visiting goalkeeper Ross Worner may have felt he could have done better.
Brett Williams looked to have earned a point for the visitors when the striker glanced in Harry Beautyman’s 66th-minute cross.
However, Williamson headed in with two minutes remaining to snatch victory, which leaves Eastleigh three points adrift of Sutton in the final play-off place.
