Penalty choas and shock results in the latest National League instalment

There were surprise results and shock moments on an action-packed Tuesday night across the three divisions.

Leaders Rochdale dropped rare home points - and it came in bizarre circumstances. 

The table toppers drew 1-1 with Scunthorpe United, who went ahead through Callum Roberts. Ryan East made it 1-1 but a strange ‘missed’ penalty, which saw Emmanuel Dieseruvwe seemingly touch the ball before walking away from the spot, will take the headlines.

Rochdale are a point clear, but fail to win at home for just the third time this season.

Gateshead ended their 13-game losing run with an incredible win at FC Halifax Town - who had lost just once at the Shay since the opening weekend. Kenton Richardson and Mark Beck were the Heed heroes. 

Sutton United survived the first half sending off of their goalkeeper to beat Woking 2-1. Kai Jennings scored early, before Brandon Njoku added a second. They held firm, despite a red card on the half hour from Chris Haigh. 

Oliver Scott and Hady Ghandour got the goals as Aldershot Town continue to impress under John Coleman. The Shots won 2-1 at Yeovil Town.

Dorking Wanderers go five points clear at the top of the Enterprise National League South.

Frank Vincent hit a crucial winner against title rivals Hornchurch. 

There was a lot of focus down the bottom and Enfield Town ended their winless run with Sam Young’s early double defeating Horsham.

Eastbourne Borough are now bottom after losing 1-0 at Chesham United. After recent home joy, Chippenham Town suffered agony at Salisbury, Dominic Revan’s 93rd minute winner boosted the Whites battle down the bottom. 

Two sides just outside the bottom two earned important points. Hampton & Richmond Borough drew 1-1 at AFC Totton, while Bath City and Ebbsfleet United played out a thrilling 2-2 draw, Matt Bowman struck twice - including a 96th minute leveller. 

In the Enterprise National League North, Hereford’s new manager Aaron Downes made a flying start.

The Bulls won 1-0 against Darlington at their temporary base of Worcester Warriors thanks to Aaron Skinner’s late penalty. 

Chorley’s fightback earned a point at AFC Telford, who were in a commanding lead thanks to Dyla Allen-Hadley’s two goals.

Leamington look almost down, Spennymoor Town won 2-0 - Glen Taylor made the points safe as Southport and Buxton fired blanks.
