Woodford took another massive step towards survival, and in doing so dented Brixton's promotion hopes with a memorable win at Clowes.

The visitors flew out of the traps and went 2–0 up within the first 20 minutes. Paul Shone headed home a cross from Alex Aviram and Elliott Gold latched onto a Hahn through belting home possibly the goal of season.

Brixton soon got one back and just before half time Woodford got a penalty, which Jerome Marks slotted home.

Woodford then went in 3–1 but Brixton showed character in the second half to come back to make it 3–3.

Five minutes from time Woodford lined up for a long throw into the box, instead went short. Aviram whipped in a ball to the back post; Midda leaped up to beat the keeper and head the ball back across goal for Poole to hammer home the winner.

Jamie Kent (2) and Alon Hershkorn registered for Brixton.

Woodford manager Alex Aviram told JC Sport: "I’m proud to of my boys today. We always knew it was going to be tough, there a good side.

"Football is a game played with arms, legs and shoulders but mostly from the neck up, we played with our heads today.

"The world looks totally different after back-to-back wins."

Brixton boss John Nitka told JC Sport: "We just never got started - it was a rude awakening call and there is nothing more to be said."
