Ebbsfleet Utd 3-1 Farsley

Ebbsfleet United bounced back from a first-half deficit to record a comfortable win over Farsley Celtic at Stonebridge Road on Tuesday evening.

The visitors drew first blood in the 25th minute when David McNiven displayed a brilliant bit of skill to beat the keeper with a lobbed shot from right-hand side of the box.

The Celts managed to hold onto the lead heading into the break but the second period belonged to the hosts as they battered their opponents with a relentless barrage of attacks.

Fleet drew level in the 52nd minute thanks to James Smith's headed goal and claimed the lead in the 65th minute when Luke Moore fired a 12-yard effort into the back of the net.

The rout was completed ten minutes from time as Ebbsfleet's Charley Hearn met a Micheal Bostwick cross and placed his header in the bottom-left corner.
