Morgan Roberts secured Tamworth’s first victory of the season with a dramatic goal in the 98th minute, just moments after Nathan Tshikuba equalized from the penalty spot against Worthing. The match took place on August 29, 2026, in a National League contest.

The late drama unfolded after Worthing were reduced to nine men when Jack Wadham, who opened the scoring for the visitors, was sent off, followed by Dom Hutchinson receiving a red card during stoppage time. Tamworth’s manager, Andy Peaks, praised his team’s resilience and the support of the home crowd. “It was some finish at the end and was brilliant to come out the right side of a game like that,” Peaks said. He added that the team had addressed individual errors seen in prior matches and maintained belief throughout a challenging contest. “With the supporters behind us though, it was a fantastic turnaround and we’re delighted.”

Worthing had appeared poised to claim their third league win in four games after taking the lead twice. Adam Hinshelwood’s side, newly promoted to the National League, struck first through Wadham, with Jose Marquez adding a second goal. However, the numerical disadvantage in the closing stages led to them being overtaken.

Reflecting on the outcome, Worthing’s manager Hinshelwood noted that his team competed well during much of the match. “When it was 11v11 we had a good chance but sometimes you have to dig in,” he said. Hinshelwood added that Tamworth’s persistent pressure and the defensive space they conceded played a significant role in the final result.
