Truro City secured a dramatic 3-1 National League South victory over Chesham United this week with two goals in the final minutes. The comeback win lifts John Askey's side to fourth in the table, just three points off the top spot with a game in hand.
Truro fell behind early when Alex Babos scored for the visitors after just five minutes. The team dominated possession after the setback and found an equaliser before half-time. Tyler Harvey finished from a corner to level the score. The match seemed headed for a draw until Will Dean produced a moment of quality in the 85th minute, curling a shot from the edge of the box into the net. Substitute Omar Bogle then sealed the three points in stoppage time, scoring his second goal in three games. Manager John Askey told reporters he was pleased with his players' resilience. "In the end it was a good win, frustrating at times but I thought the players did really well," Askey said.
