Kyrell Lisbie’s brace earns Braintree victory against Aldershot

Kyrell Lisbie scored twice as Braintree came from behind to earn their first win of the season with a 2-1 victory over Aldershot.

The Shots went in front on the stroke of half-time after Theo Widdrington picked out Ryan Jones and he finished into the bottom-right corner.

Aldershot came close to doubling their lead with 20 minutes to play when Kai Corbett fired goalwards but debutant Lucas Covolan made a great reaction save to tip the effort over the crossbar.

Braintree levelled with 15 minutes to play as Chay Cooper’s cross picked out Lisbie in the box and he headed home.

And the home side turned the game on its head when Lisbie finished from close range to snatch all three points.
