OXFORD City produced a second half comeback on the south coast against Eastbourne Borough to make it three draws from three, writes George Rickwood.
City got off to a rocky start, going two goals down before half-time, both through Charlie Walker.
However, Eastbourne let City back in with George Harmon and Charlie Rowan each grabbing their second goals of the campaign.
Elliot Benyon fired home with City’s first attack after an excellent Alfie Potter run, only for the offside flag to be raised.
The promising opening was halted on 25 minutes, when Ben Dudzinski saved from a James Hammond free kick, only for Walker to collect the rebound and drive it back past the City stopper.
The second soon followed, after a simple ball over the top of the City defence let Walker in for his second with a coolly taken lob over Dudzinski.
Zico Asare was required shortly after half-time with a last ditch block on the line to deny Greg Luer.
After 52 minutes, Reece Fleet looked long, and after a Benyon flick on, the ball fell for Harmon who found the bottom right corner.
It was the fourth goal scored for City this season by a defender and the fifth followed just 10 minutes later when Rowan forced the ball over the line after another excellent run and cross by unsung hero Potter.
