83 photos as Worthing edge National South derby at Horsham with 4-3 win

A Joe Cook own goal and – against his old club – a Greg Luer strike put the Hornets 2-0 up but Temi Babalola and Sam Beard scored in the final five minutes of the first half to draw the Rebels level.

Jack Spong’s penalty and a Sam Packham goal, inside the space of five minutes just after the mid-point of the second half, put Worthing 4-2 up and James Roberts’ goal three minutes into injury time was too little too late for Dominic Di Paola’s team.

The result leaves Worthing seventh in the early table, Horsham bottom.

Horsham go to Chesham on Tuesday, Worthing to Farnborough on Wednesday.
