Salisbury FC left it late to take all three points in their 2-1 win against Horsham FC at the Ray Mac.

Nathan Odokonyero nabbed the winner in the 94th minute to send The Whites up to 16th in the table.

The Whites took the lead in the 31st minute of the game as Coppin played a trivela ball into Odokonyero, who held the ball and laid it off to Morgan to slot home.

Salisbury had a flurry of chances after their goal, as an opportunity to double the lead was given to Coppin, who headed the ball over from close range.

The Whites had a few chances in the second half, with substitute George Penn being unable to find the back of the net from a one-on-one in the 79th minute.

The latter came from Tommy Willard in the 81st minute, who nicked the ball off the Horsham defender and was then pulled by the shirt, but the referee waved play on.

Horsham scored an equaliser in the 89th minute when AFC Wimbledon loanee Harry Hedges volleyed home from outside the box.

However, Salisbury kept pushing and eventually found the winner in the 94th minute as Odokonyero smashed home from a header into the box by Richard McIntyre.

Fullback Ollie Morgan won the man of the match for his spectacular display, scoring the first and creating many opportunities in the attacking third.

After the full-time whistle, the supporters club made player of the year award presentations:

Young Player of the Year - Ollie Morgan

Players Player of the Year - Dominic Revan

Supporters Player of the Year - Will Buse
