Dartford 0 Sutton United 2
Comments |
Leaders Dartford suffered their third leage defeat of the season
as they went down 2-0 to Sutton United at Princes Park on
Saturday.
The Darts enjoyed plenty of possession - but a goal in each half
from James Norwood and Sam Gargan saw the visitors travel home with
the points.
Sutton took the lead seven minutes before half-time when the
Darts allowed Steve Watts far too much time to pick out Norwood,
and he turned it home past Andy Young.
Former Gills midfielder Alan Pouton was running the game for
Sutton and he twice went close from free-kicks in the first
half.
The best Dartford could muster before the break was a Danny
Harris effort that cleared the crossbar.
The hosts continued to press in the second half.
Elliot Bradbrook put a shot wide before keeper Kevin
Scriven denied top scorer Lee Burns when he was clean through.
Carl Rook came off the bench but the substitute failed to
connect with the ball inside the six-yard-box to score what would
have been his first goal for the club before the debutant looped a
free header over the bar.
Dartford always left themselves open on the counter-attack but
it was poor play by Jamie Coyle trying to dribble out of defence
that led to the points being wrapped up - Gargan getting the final
touch to make it 2-0.
