Wealdstone 1 Ebbsfleet United 2 match report

Ebbsfleet came from behind on Saturday to maintain their 100% record in National League South.

Matt Godden and Jordan Parkes went close for the Fleet at Wealdstone before Kenny Clark pulled off an excellent block to deny the dangerous Bradley Hudson-Odoi.

Former Ebbsfleet midfielder Michael Corcoran headed wastefully wide from a corner and Robbie Willmott tried his luck at the other end but the Stones kept pressing.

Jefferson Louis fired a shot straight at keeper Brandon Hall and Connor Calcutt had a shot blocked.

Full-back Matt Fish sent a low shot fizzing wide and Parkes fired over but it was Wealdstone who opened the scoring late in the first half. Hudson-Odoi latched onto a long pass out of defence and lifted the ball over Hall to make it 1-0.

But the Fleet were level shortly after the restart, Parkes finishing off a good passing move on the edge of the Stones box for his third goal in four games.

Stuart Lewis hit the post and Danny Kedwell then scored who tuned out to be the winner, heading Willmott's deep cross beyond Jonathan North at the back post.

Clark did well to deny Calcutt and a cross from Louis was thumped over in stoppage-time but Daryl McMahon's side held on to record their fourth consecutibe league win.

They sit third, three points behind early leaders Bath City with a game in hand.
