Maidstone striker Yemi Odubade answered his manager's call to go on and score the winner against Macclesfield.

Stones boss Jay Saunders turned to Odubade with five minutes left of Saturday's National League game at the Gallagher.

And the move paid off when the late substitute met Jamar Loza's cross in the 89th minute to end a run of five league games without a win.

It was all about the eyes as Odubade and Loza combined to hand United a 2-1 victory.

Odubade said: "When the gaffer called me to get ready he said, 'go on and get the winner for us' and I was like, 'OK, I'll do my best' and my best was good enough.

"To be fair, I saw Jam running down the wing and I was like, 'well, no one's going to catch him' so I was thinking I better make the box.

"We caught eyes so he knew my run and he's put in a great ball - he couldn't have put a better ball in.

"Some people try and go near stick but I knew if I hung back it was going to get to me eventually. I've had to stretch to get it plus it was on my left foot as well.

"They are the best sort of wins, last-minute goals, whether it be friendlies, league, cup, they're all brilliant.

"The fact I got that goal kind of pushes us because we had a good draw at Sutton and we've backed that up with a win at home, which we haven't done for a while."

It was Odubade's first goal since his double at Torquay on his first Stones start.

He was dropped at Sutton and was on the bench against Macclesfield but, at 32, he knows how football works.

Odubade said: "I understand. The gaffer wants to freshen things up now and again, I'm totally aware of that.

"It's good, it's helping the team and pushing us in the right direction."
