That would have been enough to leapfrog their opponents at the summit but it’s as you were after Ollie Freeman levelled for the Vickers with minutes remaining.

Lydd conceded an injury-time winner against Lordswood as Nicky Southall lost 2-1 to his old club in a bottom-of-the-table clash.

Elliott Duncan gave Lords a half-time lead at the Lindsey Field but Lydd looked to have salvaged a point when Finley Sillince struck in the 88th minute.

There was time for another twist, however, with Alex Mulrooney-Skinner scoring the goal that lifted Lords out of the relegation zone.

Both sides had a man sent off, Callum Peck dismissed for Lordswood in the first half and James Rogers following for the Lydders after the break.

Lords are replaced in the bottom two by Hollands & Blair, who drew 1-1 at Snodland Town.

Stanley Oldfield put Town in front just past the hour mark, with Murisiku Batula’s late penalty securing a point for Blair.

Chris Alhassan briefly got Stansfeld back into the game at 3-1.

Punjab United, in fourth, lost 2-1 at home to mid-table Rusthall.

Jack Hopkins cancelled out Kalani Barton’s opener but Punjab were denied a point when Yassin Fares scored from the penalty spot.

Manager Jamie Coyle turned out against his old club as Whitstable beat Erith & Belvedere 3-0 at the Belmont.

Kennington completed an unbeaten November after drawing 2-2 at home to Sutton Athletic.

Tom Scorer and Kimsley Gatakata gave Ton a 2-1 lead at the break after recovering from Arlie Desanges’ fifth-minute opener.
