Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 2 Nov, 09:21 · Archive

Truro City defeated Ebbsfleet United 3-0 to move to the top of National League South.

Truro City defeated previous leaders Ebbsfleet United 3-0 at home to move to the top of National League South. Tyler Harvey scored twice, with one from a penalty kick, and Tom Harrison headed in the third goal.

Ebbsfleet's task was made harder early on when James Vennings was sent off in the 16th minute for a dangerous tackle on Tom Tweedy. Despite their numerical disadvantage, Ebbsfleet had some early opportunities but failed to test Truro's goalkeeper Aiden Stone. Harvey broke the deadlock in the 58th minute, and Harrison extended the lead shortly after with a header from a Christian Oxlade-Chamberlain long throw. Harvey added a penalty in the 82nd minute. Camron Gbadebo was sent off for Ebbsfleet later in the game.

Truro's win took them a point clear of Maidstone United at the top of the table, with Ebbsfleet third but with a game in hand. Assistant manager Stewart Yetton said the league position "doesn't really mean anything" at this stage of the season and that the focus should be remaining competitive through to March and April.
