Ten-man Cambridge United were beaten at home by Kettering in a defeat which saw them replaced at the top of the Blue Square Premier table by Salisbury.

Craig Westcarr put Kettering ahead when his skewed cross-cum-shot looped over keeper Danny Potter from 25 yards.

Cambridge had Ben Farrell sent off 22 minutes from time for a mistimed challenge on Westcarr before Chris Beardsley added Kettering's second.

Beardsley turned in Jean-Paul Marna's cross to seal the win.
