Maidstone lost a topsy-turvy National League South game at St Albans after hitting back from a goal down to lead. The visitors, trailing to George Hoddle’s strike, turned the game on its head with two goals in a minute - a Kieran Gauthier own goal followed by Matt Rush’s first for the club.
But after missing chances to add a third, United were undone by Shaun Jeffers and Jack James strikes to leave Clarence Park empty-handed.
St Albans - looking to end a run of three successive league defeats at home - were on top in the early stages. Indeed, the Stones were indebted to a pair of excellent saves by the feet of keeper Lucas Covolan to stay on level terms.
The first came after Mitchell Weiss cut inside and squared to Gio Rasulo and the second when Jack James ran on to Hoddle’s pass.
