Sutton get the points in six-goal thriller

Sutton edged out Gateshead 4-2 in an entertaining Enterprise National League clash.

The tone was set for a lively contest six minutes in with Kian Pennant putting the visitors ahead with a great strike.

Lewis Simper went close to an equaliser before Jayden Harris levelled with a looping header (32).

Pennant hit wide when well set and Sutton took full advantage after the restart as Simper’s brilliant curler put them in front in the 46th minute, before Harris extended their lead in the 50th after his initial strike was blocked.

Dom Telford responded for Gateshead in the 54th minute, but they could not find a way back and were finished off by Jack Taylor’s goal eight minutes into stoppage time.
