Bognor Regis secured a dramatic 2-1 victory over Binfield despite playing almost the entire match with ten men at Nyewood Lane on Saturday. The home side faced a significant early setback when Liam Webber was sent off after just three minutes for fouling Montgomery Brady as the last defender. Brady converted the resulting free kick from approximately 20 yards out, giving Binfield an early lead within the first five minutes.

Despite being reduced in numbers, Bognor continued to press for an equalizer throughout the match. Their opportunity to level came in the 55th minute when they were awarded a penalty. However, Kaya Tshaka was unable to convert, sending his spot-kick over the crossbar. Undeterred, the hosts maintained their attacking efforts and eventually found a breakthrough late in the game.

Lennie Smith restored parity in the 92nd minute, igniting the home crowd. Just moments later, in the seventh minute of stoppage time, Luke Roberts struck the winning goal, securing a remarkable comeback and all three points for Bognor Regis. Roberts’ decisive contribution earned him recognition as the standout performer of the match.

The result highlights Bognor’s resilience and determination under pressure, managing to overcome an early red card and hold on for a crucial victory against Binfield.
