Adam Hinshelwood’s team actually scored first – through Reece Myles-Meekums – but by the time Danny Barker got their second late on, they had let in five. Then they conceded anoher two in the final seven minutes.
It follows a 6-0 drubbing they suffered at home to the runaway leaders earlier in the season.
Worthing are down to sixth but are still at the heart of the race for the play-offs and they host Bath City on Saturday.
