Dartford 1 Ebbsfleet United 0 match report: Jake Robinson scores winning goal

Dartford climbed above Ebbsfeet in National League South thanks to Jake Robinson's first-half winner.

It meant back-to-back wins for the first time since the start of December for Steve King's men while the Fleet have now lost five out of six away league games - all against fellow promotion hopefuls.

The two teams met only a month ago, Fleet getting bragging rights thanks to Ben Chapman’s late winner at Stonebridge Road.

But the two sides had little resemblance from that day, Dartford making seven changes and the Fleet five to their line-up.

Among the Dartford changes was forward Marcus Dinanga, who linked up well with Kai Innocent down the left and did a lot of defensive work to blunt the threat of Tobi Adebayo-Rowling.

At the other end, 24-year-old Dinanga also took on a couple of shots that called keeper Chris Haigh into action.

Fleet again went for a back four, skipper Lee Martin coming into the line-up and setting up a chance that Elliott Romain - back at his former club - was unable to convert before shooting at keeper Dan Wilks himself from distance.

Darts took the lead on 21 minutes. Innocent delivered with quality from the left for Jake Robinson, who saw his first effort saved by Haigh before converting the rebound via the post.

It should have been 2-0 just five minutes later. Keiran Murtagh did tremendously well to pick out Danny Leonard from deep inside his own half and Leonard skipped past a defender as though he was not there. He unselfishly squared to present Robinson with a tap-in but the striker somehow dragged his shot wide to everyone’s amazement.

Fleet’s best opening of the half came six minutes before the break, Craig Tanner playing in Greg Cundle but Wilks blocked his effort and Jordan Wynter was on
