A MAGICAL show from substitute Lewis Coyle, who hit all four goals, helped Kidlington twice come from behind and win 4-2 at Northwood.
Coyle came on for the injured Jack Dunmall in the 11th minute of the Central Division game.
However it was the hosts, who took the lead in the 24th minute when Myles Stephenson fired home.
The visitors equalised nine minutes later when Coyle arrowed home 20-yard shot, which went in off the underside of the bar, giving keeper Montel Joseph no chance.
Before the break, Lewis Gabbidon saw his header cleared off the line.
In the 64th minute Northwood regained the lead, when Louis Stead took advantage after a fumble by Kidlington keeper Sam Warrell.
This goal was against the run of play, but three minutes later, the visitors were level when Coyle scored with a spectacular dipping free-kick from 25 yards.
Julian McCalmon’s side really had the bit between their teeth now.
And after Coyle was brought down unceremoniously in the penalty box, he picked himself up and scored from the spot to complete his hat-trick in the 74th minute.
Coyle’s final goal came in the 86th minute when he hit a screamer of a shot which bent away from Joseph’s despairing dive and into the bottom corner of the goal.
