Hastings United twice came from behind to win at Rothwell Town and extend their winning run to three matches.

Under heavy pressure at the start, defending down the hill, United fell behind after just nine minutes when a looping header from Jonathon Mitchell beat Will Toal in the visitors' goal.

That setback seemed to settle the visitors as they came more into the picture and levelled on 22 minutes. A deep cross from Carl Rook found Charlie Belcher at the far post who tapped home.

Rothwell regained the advantage shortly before the break when a cross from Rees Lester was headed home by the unmarked Joe Hanney.

The second half was a scrappy affair but two goals in as many minutes turned the game in United's favour. A long throw out by Toal found Steve Hafner near the halfway line. He ran at the home defence and fired a low shot past home keeper John Hughes.

Just over a minute later, a blistering shot from Chris Honey, from outside the box, left Hughes no more than a spectator as the ball flashed into the net via the crossbar.

From then on in there was only one winner.

Hastings could have increased their lead whereas Rothwell showed why they have scored only seven goals all season.
