Stevenage moved up to second in the Blue Square Premier table with a battling victory over Ebbsfleet. Craig Dobson scored what proved to be the winner when he met Daryl McMahon's cross and carefully prodded the ball past Fleet keeper Scott Tynan.
The home side's best chance fell to Luke Moore, who screwed his shot wide.
Stevenage should have made it 2-0 when
Ebbsfleet had Paul McCarthy sent off for deliberate handball in the area but John Nutter missed from the spot.
