<p>Unite New Herrington got their 2nd victory of the season, and completed the double over United, with a superb comeback which seen them score 4 goals in a crazy 12 minutes <br style="color: #62686f; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #dddddd;" /><br style="color: #62686f; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #dddddd;" />United controlled most of the first half and took the lead on 25 minutes when a free kick from Stu Bowman was flicked on by Ryan Gordon into the path of Gary "Bobby Lad" Simmons who hammered it into the net.<br style="color: #62686f; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #dddddd;" /><br style="color: #62686f; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #dddddd;" />United doubled their lead 6 minutes later when Ryan Gordon released Dan Musther down the right. He skipped past 3 defenders then the keeper but the keeper brought him down and the referee correctly awarded a penalty. Dan Musther brushed himself down to power the ball past the keeper who got a touch but couldn't keep it out.<br style="color: #62686f; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #dddddd;" /><br style="color: #62686f; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #dddddd;" />Half Time - Unite New Herrington Club FC 0-2 Wear United FC<br style="color: #62686f; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #dddddd;" /><br style="color: #62686f; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #dddddd;" />United then got the 3rd goal on 52 minutes when a cross from Andy Meikle was controlled by Gary Simmons and he slid the ball into the far corner.<br style="color: #62686f; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #dddddd;" /><br style="color: #62686f; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #dddddd;" />It looked like Unite New Herrington had given up any hope until they got their first goal on 69 minutes. A ball played to the right and lobbed over keeper Steve Barnes and into the top corner.<br style="color: #62686f; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #dddddd;" /><br style="color: #62686f; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #dddddd;" />From then on it was all Unite and the belief was clear for all to see when the second went in on 75 minutes. A corner was somehow bundled over the line with a suspicion of hand ball but the referee wouldn't have been able to see it and the goal was given<br style="color: #62686f; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #dddddd;" /><br style="color: #62686f; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #dddddd;" />The leveller came 2 minutes later when a cross from the right was put into the net at the back post and Unite completed the comeback and took the 3 points with a goal on 81 minutes when a run down the left flank ended up with the player cutting inside the box and putting the ball in the bottom corner
