MARGATE overcame a fourth red card of the season for Sam Sodje to collect their ninth win in 13 matches on Saturday.
Defender Sodje received his marching orders in the 32nd minute for violent conduct after clashing with the home side's Jon Howard.
His red card came just moments after Che Stadhart had fired the only goal past Burton keeper Matt Duke from a Greg Oates pass.
Burton had plenty of possession after that but the Gate defended brilliantly with keeper Phil Smith producing a string of fine saves.
