Two late goals from Eastbourne substitute Jack Jeffrey consigned relegation-threatened Weymouth to a 10th successive defeat.

A quiet first half came to life on the brink of half-time when Matt Crabb headed home a Paul Armstrong centre.

With 16 minutes left, Weymouth striker Fola Onibuje spurned a chance to level by heading wide from six yards.

And Onibuje was made to pay when Jeffrey's rapid-fire brace with seven minutes left gave Eastbourne victory.
