Matt Godden's manager has described him as the best striker in non-league football.

Godden scored four goals for Ebbsfleet on Saturday and he now has 26 in all competitions this season.

His quadruple helped Fleet win 5-0 at Hayes & Yeading and boss Daryl McMahon was quick to praise the 24-year-old after the game.

"He is outstanding," McMahon said. "I don’t think there’s a better striker than Matty Godden in non-league football. If there is, I haven’t seen him.

"He’s got everything as a player. His attitude’s phenomenal every day, his movement, pace, he’s fit and a fantastic finisher. He’s a willing worker as well, he never stops running around.

"At the start of the season, when he wasn’t getting his goals, he still gives you everything he’s got. That’s 26 for him now and I can’t speak highly enough of Matty Godden."

Godden has scored exactly a third of Ebbsfleet's league goals this season.

McMahon said: "At different stages of this season, the strikers have got us goals.

"Aaron McLean’s obviously got his five goals in a shorter period but his five goals won us 10 points. Every goal he’s scored counted for something. He hasn’t scored of late but at crucial times, you need your strikers to come in and score you goals.

"Godden has been the most consistent throughout the season. He always looks like he’s going to get a goal and I thought he was excellent."

Ebbsfleet only collected one point over the Easter weekend and McMahon got exactly the response he wanted at York Road.

He said: "It was a terrific performance before anything else. We had a thing this week where I said to the lads 'I just want a performance regardless of the result'.

"The results are down to me and the performance is down to the players. I know that if the boys perform as I know they can, we’ll win more games than we lose or draw.

"It was a day where it clicked together and I thought we were terrific."
