Tonbridge turned the formbook upside down with a magnificent derby win at National League South leaders Ebbsfleet. Goals from centre-backs Ben Swift and Sonny Miles inflicted a first defeat of the season in any competition on the Fleet, who remain top after Dartford lost at Farnborough.

But it was all about Jay Saunders’ Tonbridge side at a club he used to play for, with the Angels defending brilliantly throughout.

Ebbsfleet were given an early warning by the visitors when inside the second minute, home captain Chris Solly had to block Dejon Golding’s shot.

Louis Collins’ effort from a Jamie Fielding cross was diverted behind for a corner before Tonbridge took the lead on 10 minutes.
