Three goals from New Sens saw them beat Treleven 1:3 in the Premier League on Saturday. The visitors took all three points at home soil, extending their perfect start to the campaign.
R. Hughes opened the scoring in the eighth minute, catching the home side off guard. Treleven responded quickly, and R. Holden levelled by the fifeth minute. To be fair, the momentum swung back and forth in those opening exchanges.
Then came the moment you remember. J. Jones put New Sens ahead in the thirty-fourth minute, and the visitors never looked back. J. Bodenham added a fourth goal in the sixty-fifth, and the game was effectively over.
Both managers made changes in the second half. Treleven brought on D. Simeu and K. Owen, while New Sens introduced B. Aman, J. Lock, S. MacDonald, L. Caramella-Gerrard, and J. Jones. The visitors also brought on B. Young and R. Holden.
The statistics tell the story. New Sens enjoyed 72 per cent possession and registered eight shots on target compared to three for Treleven. The home side had just one corner and 61 attacks against 89 for the visitors.
We had called for an away win before kick-off with 81 per cent confidence, and New Sens delivered. They have the deeper squad and the confidence to match it. By then, the result was never in doubt.
New Sens sit top of the table with 31 points from 11 games, while Treleven remain in fourteenth place with just three points. The gap between them is now 28 points, and the home side have not won since August.
