Bromsgrove Sporting 5 (Robinson 14', Lewthwaite 62' & 67', Roberts 86', Newell 90+7', Benbow Red Card 24')
AFC Sudbury 3 (Stone 8' & 25' P, Peters 55')

Bromsgrove Sporting claimed a hugely valuable three points, as they ran out victorious in an eight goal thriller over AFC Sudbury.

Jack Stone put Sudbury into the lead before Theo Robinson levelled for Sporting. Stone then gave the Yellows the lead again from the penalty spot, before Harvey Peters doubled the lead 10 minutes into the second half.

Then the comeback began - substitute Tyrone Lewthwaite netted a double to bring the Rouslers level before late goals from Aaron Roberts and Jack Newell ensured Bromsgrove would be keeping all three points in Worcestershire.

Stone gave Sudbury the lead with an effort from close range in the eighth minute. Sporting equalised minutes later, as Robinson curled the ball home with his right foot.

Striker Luke Benbow's afternoon was over in the 24th minute, as he was adjudged to have handled the ball on the line - Stone's spotkick sent Rory Brown the wrong way.

Peters headed Sudbury's third home in the 55th minute, moments after Marcel Lewis' free kick was saved.

Lewthwaite came on in the 58th minute and quickly made an impact, causing the defence all sorts of issues with a brace of goals into empty nets to bring Bromsgrove level.

Roberts scored in the 86th minute - a Jack Kelly corner was headed on by Luke Softley, allowing the Sporting skipper to guide the ball home.

Newell completed the scoring at the death, as he rounded keeper Jack Munson and slotted home.
