Sutton climb into play-off places after seeing off Dagenham

Sutton  moved into the play-off places in the Vanarama National League after a 1-0 win against struggling Dagenham.

A Keiron Cadogan goal gave the home side all three points after he turned home a rebound from Nicky Bailey shot.

Bailey’s long-range effort was saved by goalkeeper Elliot Justham but it fell to Cadogan who reacted to hit the ball into the back of the net.

Sutton could have doubled their lead in the closing stages of the match when Justham was almost caught in possession by Sutton striker Jonah Ayunga but the goalkeeper was able to clear the ball to safety.

The loss ended Dagenham’s two-game winning run and puts them 22nd in the league, just four points above bottom-placed Dover.
