Farnborough 2-4 Yeovil

Yeovil extended their unbeaten league run to nine games with a deserved victory over Farnborough.

The leaders went ahead on 14 minutes thanks to an excellent finish from Lee Johnson, who drilled home from the edge of the area.

Yeovil almost doubled their lead eight minutes later when Johnson saw his shot blocked by a defender, and then his follow up effort deflected wide for a corner.

Boro drew level just before the half-hour mark when midfielder Gary Butterworth fired into the top left-hand corner from 25 yards.

Defender Adam Lockwood wasted a great chance to put Yeovil back in front when he headed over the crossbar from close range just before the break.

Yeovil dominated after the interval, with Johnson testing Boro keeper Tony Pennock from distance on 55 minutes, and then substitute Kevin Gall fired Abdelhalim El Kholti's cross over.

But Yeovil deservedly went back ahead after 61 minutes when Boro's Darren Annon brought down Gall in the area, and Michael McIndoe slotted home the spot-kick.

Kirk Jackson extended the advantage when he fired home after some slack defending and then sealed the points by smashing home McIndoe's cross in the last minute.

Joff Vansittart grabbed Farnborough a second when he headed home Geoff Pitcher's cross in stoppage time.


Farnborough: Pennock, Reeks, Patterson, Annon, Taggart, Green, Lenny Piper, Pitcher, Butterworth, Charlery, Baptiste. Subs: Osborn, Girvan, Vansittart, Potter, Harkness.

Yeovil: Weale, Lockwood, Skiverton, Lindegaard, Johnson, McIndoe, O'Brien, Way, Williams, El Kholti, Jackson. Subs: Gall, Grant, Collis, Mustoe, Aggrey.

Referee: G Lewis (Cambridge).
