SOLIHULL Moors boss Matt Taylor said it was ‘an amazing feeling’ to seal a dramatic last-gasp victory over Boston on Easter Monday.

Moors made it three National League wins in a row – and a second successive comeback victory.

Solihull beat Tamworth on Good Friday – and showed the same character against Boston.

Losing 2-1 with 18 minutes left, Moors levelled and then scored the winner in the seventh minute of stoppage time through James Clarke.

Taylor told the club’s official YouTube channel: “There’s more than one way to win a game of football.

“I felt on the balance of play, we were most definitely the team that were worthy of three points. I mean, to be able to score like that, with near enough for last kick of the game is an amazing feeling.

“It gives us nine points out of nine. What we’ve got to do now is continue to build momentum into the next game.

“They’ve come back from behind now twice in three days. It’s exactly what they deserve from the game.

“The result is massive for us. It’s another three points and that puts us in a position now where we know what we can do for next season.

“We know what we can plan and what that looks like in terms of moving forward.  It’s really positive.

“The players have worked hard over this Easter period, and they’ve got their rewards, which is six points.”

Tahvon Campbell nets from the penalty spot

Clarke headed home Szhem Whyte-Hall’s long throw after Tahvon Campbell had earlier scored his first goal since August to level things up for the second time.

Campbell made his comeback after eight months out through injury in a 10-minute substitute appearance last weekend but made much more of an impact on his return to Damson Park.

 

Sent on after 60 minutes, he had been on the pitch just 15 minutes when he took responsibility from the penalty spot to score the equaliser after Noah Wadsworth had brought down Fletcher Holman.

The win made Solihull mathematically safe, as there is now have a nine-point gap over 21st-placed Dagenham & Redbridge with two matches remaining.

Jamey Osborne celebrates his goal

Twice the visitors squandered the lead, firstly when Zak Mills scored in the second minute after Greg Sloggett had hit the post from a Bradley Nicholson throw.

Jamey Osborne volleyed home a brilliant equaliser five minutes later but, just before half-time, Connor Teale’s first goal since February put Boston ahead again after Nicholson kept alive Wadsworth’s free-kick.
