THREE goals in the last 20 minutes gave Manea victory in a fiery Fenland derby.

Manea went ahead after just three minutes when a visiting defender passed back to his goalkeeper who sliced his attempted clearance into his own net.

Sam Cooper equalised when he pounced on a rebound to score after the goalkeeper parried Chris Sutton's free-kick, but the visitors then had a player sent off after 15 minutes for directing foul and abusive language towards the referee after being booked for a late challenge.

The referee then struggled to maintain control of the game as ferocious tackles came in from both sides.

But Sutton Bridge came back strongly and dominated for the next hour and Ashley Miller scored a superb goal to give them the lead five minutes before the break.

Miller collected a diagonal pass on the left wing and beat three defenders in the penalty area before hitting the back of the net.

Cooper scored again early in the second half to put the visitors 3-1 up, smashing a sweet first-time shot from 20 yards into the right corner.

But the 10 men tired and goals from Kevin Goode, Sheridan Stevens and Jamie Clifford in the last 20 minutes gave Manea all the points.
