Back-to-back wins have got Harrow Borough looking up the table for the first time in a long while, but on Saturday they couldn’t take their eyes from the pitch during a 3-2 thriller at Burgess Hill.
George Moore proved the man of the hour to rescue a victory which had almost slipped from their grasp, despite opening up a two-goal lead inside six minutes.
Perhaps that good start was just a little too impressive, and as Burgess began to push back they crumbled before Moore’s late goal.
Michael Bryan put the visitors ahead with only three minutes on the clock, by turning in Sahr Kabba’s pass just inside the box.
And Ryan Moss doubled the advantage before Burgess had regained their bearings with a fine solo effort, cutting inside from wide on the right and beating the goalkeeper at the second attempt.
With half-an-hour gone the hosts hit back. Connor Tighe picked up a loose ball and smashed it low beyond Melvin Minter from the edge of the box.
They equalised just after the hour, following a long spell of pressure, when an unmarked Stephane Ngamvoulou headed in a free-kick.
But with eight minutes to go, Harrow averted any heartbreak as Moore curled in a brilliant winner at the near post from outside the box.
Harrow are now eight points clear of the bottom four, and visit Billericay on Saturday.
