AFC Rushden & Diamonds also had a striker in supreme form as they edged out Stocksbridge Park Steels 3-2 in the Evo-Stik Northern Premier League First Division South.
Nabil Shariff scored all of their goals including an 86th-minute winner.
He had put Diamonds 2-0 up before the home side pegged them back to 2-2.
However, Shariff had the last say with his hat-trick goal in the dying stages.
