Deflected strike earns Ebbsfleet a draw against Woking

Deflected strike earns Ebbsfleet a draw against Woking

Woking were held to a 1-1 draw by the National League’s bottom side Ebbsfleet.

Toby Edser missed a chance to give Ebbsfleet the lead after 20 minutes when he fired wide from close range.

Ebbsfleet goalkeeper Mark Cousins twice denied Harry Beautyman before Will Jaaskelainen was called upon at the other end to deal with George Moncur’s free-kick.

Woking took the lead from the spot after 64 minutes. Beautyman made no mistake with his penalty after Ben Wynter was brought down in the area.

Wynter cleared Moncur’s cross off the line to preserve Woking’s lead moments later.

But Ebbsfleet, who still have only one win to their name all season, were rewarded for their threat with the equaliser after 74 minutes as Moncur’s long-range strike beat Jaaskelainen – with the equaliser going down as a Tunji Akinola own goal.
