Dover Athletic 1 Ebbsfleet United 2 match report: Late Rakish Bingham penalty sees Fleet edge entertaining derby after Luke Wanadio cancels out Franklin Domi's opener

Rakish Bingham's penalty on Saturday saw Ebbsfleet edge an entertaining Kent derby in National League South at Dover.

Bingham struck late on from the spot to earn the promotion-chasing team the points after Whites winger Luke Wanadio had equalised after the restart through a controversial spot-kick of their own.

That all came after Franklin Domi had put the Fleet in front in the first half during their 2-1 victory.

The visitors had the first chance at Crabble in the sixth minute. A good passing move presented Dominic Poleon with a chance against his old club, only for home keeper Stuart Nelson to make a low save.

Dover had their first opportunity in the 14th minute. Wanadio crossed from the right for Luke Baptiste but his effort was well charged down.

Ebbsfleet defender Haydn Hollis then fed Greg Cundle through, six minutes later. But home right-back Myles Judd did just enough to force the ex-Gillingham man to fire wide.

The visitors put the ball in the net on the half-hour mark. Referee Abigail Byrne awarded Whites a free-kick after Toby Edser’s delivery had put Nelson under pressure.

Four minutes later, though, Dennis Kutrieb’s side netted in legal fashion to draw first blood. Domi ran onto a Christian N’Guessan through-ball and fired past Nelson for his second goal of the season.

Up until that stage, the game plan set up by the hosts, led by interim joint-bosses Mike Sandmann and Mitch Brundle, had worked well.

Nelson made a good save on 41 minutes to palm away Cundle’s powerful shot before, moments later, Wanadio briefly threatened, but Whites trailed at the interval.

Four minutes after the restart, veteran Nelson once again had to be alert to thwart Rakish Bingham.

The home team had the ball in the net, seconds
