Ebbsfleet United closed the gap on Blue Square Bet South leaders Braintree Town after coming from behind against Havant & Waterlooville at Stonebridge Road on Saturday.

With Braintree going down 2-1 at Farnborough, Fleet’s victory took them four points off the top of the table.

It did not start well for the home side when they fell behind after seven minutes when Scott Ramsey’s cross from the right found an unmarked Wes Fogden at the far post and his shot beat keeper Preston Edwards.

Havant looked comfortable with what Fleet threw at them until Liam Daish’s side equalised after 27 minutes.

Joe Howe long ball’s found Calum Willock (pictured) and he burst through, rode two challenges and scored.

Jacob Erskine mis-hit a shot from edge of the box and Ashley Carew saw a second-half free-kick fly just past post, before Fleet went in front.

Erskine broke down right and played the ball across goal for Willock who slotted it into the net at the near post for his 22nd goal of the season.

There were a couple of late half chances at each end with Fogden and Fleet’s Ricky Shakes both blasting over the bar.
