The Commoners started the second half slowly and were punished ten minutes after the break when a partially cleared corner was bundled in at the far post.

The winner came three minutes from time when the hosts were yet again down to ten men following another man going to the sin bin and Jamie Bunn saw his free kick bounce off the post and on to the keeper before creeping over the line.

Common almost added a third when Jacob McArthur's cut-back found Ash Latuske but his well struck, first time effort cleared the crossbar. Common were able to see out the six minutes of added time to climb one place in the table.
