GEORGE Reid’s stunning 90th-minute strike earned Didcot Town a 2-1 victory at Barton Rovers in the Evo-Stik South League last night.

Back-to-back wins have seen the side climb to 11th in Division 1 Central.

The Railwaymen also moved to within four points of the play-offs and have up to two games in hand on the teams above them.

Didcot took the lead on 34 minutes, when Brett Gardner, who had only just replaced the injured John Dennis, fired home from the edge of the box.

The Railwaymen also lost Seth Humphries and Brandon Taverner to injury.

And Barton equalised on 59 minutes when the ball was scrambled home by Charlie Clayton.

The hosts then had a golden opportunity to take the lead when they were awarded a penalty after Luke Carnell had lunged in, but the spot-kick was crucially missed.

It was a let off for Didcot, who went close to sealing victory on 88 minutes when David Murphy’s volley forced an excellent save.

But they won it fine style just moments later, when Reid curled a sublime left-footed shot into the top corner to earn the Railwaymen a dramatic victory.
