Histon midfielder Josh Simpson grabbed a late winner as Ebbsfleet were beaten in the Blue Square Premier.

Simpson should have scored in the first attack of the second half only for Danny Naisbitt to save with his feet.

But, just when the game looked set for a draw, great work from Nathaniel Knight-Percival broke the deadlock.

He broke clear down the left before firing in a low cross which Simpson turned in from close range to give Histon all three points.
