Horsham boosted their play-off hopes with a superb 4-2 win at second-placed AFC Wimbledon.

Things looked bleak for Hornets, who were missing six first-teamers through injury, when Alan Mansfield, recalled from a loan spell with Horsham YMCA, conceded a sixth-minute goal.

But Lee Farrell levelled within a minute and later added a second while Dwain Clarke and Lewis Taylor were also on target, the decisive goals coming in the last 15 minutes after Wimbledon had levelled with a 73rd-minute penalty.

Boss John Maggs said: "You could pin a medal on every one of the players after a performance like that.

"We've had a mad month with nine games, which is nearly a quarter of the league season, and there had been a bit of doom and gloom about the place because of our form.

"But we played superbly. Lee could have had four himself and the scoreline actually flattered them - it was a great performance."

Goalkeeper Paul Seuke may be available for tomorrow's trip to Ashford Town (Middx) but Maggs is unlikely to change a winning team.
