Andy Pugh made one and scored one on his debut as Dover beat Hampton & Richmond Borough 4-2 at Crabble to stay top of Blue Square South on Saturday.

The sides were level at 2-2 when Pugh won a 59th-minute free-kick on the edge of the area, which was dispatched superbly by Nicky Southall.

And he then put the result beyond doubt 18 minutes from time when he found the bottom corner at the near post after a fine cross from Jerahl Hughes.

Earlier, Dover had opened the scoring after just five minutes when Frannie Collin netted direct from a free-kick after a foul on Jon Wallis as he broke from midfield.

Barry Matthews levelled for Hampton eight minutes later when he drilled home from the edge of the area.

Whites were back in front on the stroke of half-time when a good passing move ended with Wallis finding Lee Browning to score on the turn.

The visitors restored parity for a second time five minutes into the second period when Orlando Jeffery headed in Jonathan McDonald's long throw.

The result moved Andy Hessenthaler's side two points clear of Newport County at the top of the division.
