Alex Osborn and Anthony Cook both scored twice as Ebbsfleet equalled their biggest ever away league win on Saturday.

The Fleet travelled to Weston-super-Mare with just one Skrill South victory this season but they were irrepressible in Somerset.

Martin Slocombe turned Ben May’s effort into his own net on five minutes although Weston missed a golden chance to equalise midway through the half.

A foul on Kane Ingram handed them a penalty but Fleet keeper Preston Edwards denied Tristan Plummer from 12 yards.

And it was 2-0 soon after, Billy Bricknell following up to score after May’s initial effort had been parried by Luke Purnell.

Osborn struck either side of half-time to double the Fleet’s lead. He stabbed the loose ball home when Bricknell had a shot saved and then coolly finished a one-on-one with Purnell.

Steve Brown brought Chris Sessegnon off the bench for his Fleet debut and the former Dover man set up Cook for two goals inside three minutes to complete the rout.

Ebbsfleet host Eastleigh on Tuesday.
