Prolific Jamaica striker Jonson Clarke-Harris bagged his 21st goal of the season, and Peterborough United beat Shrewsbury Town 2-1 in England’s League 1 on Tuesday.
Also, St Kitts & Nevis winger Omari Sterling-James scored his first goal for sixth-tier National League South runaway leaders Ebbsfleet United in a 7-2 rout against Worthing.
But a red card for Grenada goalkeeper Reice Charles-Cook on the stroke of halftime proved costly when ninth-placed Bromley lost 3-0 at home to York City in the fifth-tier National League.
Peterborough – nicknamed Posh – struck late through Frankie Kent to claim all three points at London Road.
The centre-back headed home his second goal of the season in the 87th minute after substitute Kabongo Tshimanga helped a Joe Ward free-kick into his path.
Both sides sit on the fringes of the League 1 play-off race and had earlier traded goals in the space of five first-half minutes.
Clarke-Harris, 28, the division’s leading scorer, headed his 19th league goal of the league season – his other two came in the Football League Trophy – after being picked out by a 16th-minute cross from Ward to give Posh the edge.
But the advantage proved to be shortlived as Shrewsbury hit back through Tom Flanagan, with the defender’s first goal of the campaign worth the wait, as he rifled in off the underside of the bar after Reggae Boyz target Chey Dunkley headed captain Luke Leahy’s 21st-minute free-kick back into his path.
Ephron Mason-Clark saw a 64th-minute strike for Posh ruled out for an off-side call on Jonson Clarke-Harris, but Darren Ferguson’s men eventually edged back ahead through Kent to claim the points.
Sugar Boy Sterling-James, 29, struck in the 49th minute and Dominic Poleon, 29, who is of St Lucian descent, later joined in the feast, firing home his 29th goal of the season in the 84th minute – and Ebbsfleet stretched their lead to 17 points over Dartford at the Kuflink Stadium.
In a social media post, Sterling-James said of his first goal for Ebbsfleet, a club he joined two years ago: “If it had been a tighter game, or 1-1, I’d have crossed that to Raks [27th-minute scorer Rakish Bingham]. But I thought I’d give it a go this time.”
Spice Boy Charles-Cook, 28, was shown a straight red card a little before the break at Hayes Lane after Mitch Hancox went down in the box and the Ravens were forced to put defender Besart Topalloj between the posts.
Lenell John-Lewis then slotted home from the resulting spot-kick three minutes into added time at the end of the first half to bag his 14th goal of the season.
Ryan Fallowfield added a second for the Minstermen in the 65th minute, and the visitors grabbed a third goal six minutes later when Luke James headed home from a Dan Pybus cross for his first goal of the season.
