Pemi Aderoju’s two first half penalties put the Sports in control in Kent, before further goals from Harry Phipps, an own goal and a cracker from Jayden Davis made sure it was the away fans who left with festive cheer.
It is the first time Borough have beaten Dover away from home – and they will be looking to carry that form into a busy period of games over the Christmas period.
Photographer Lydia Redman was at the game to catch the action.
