Franzen-Jones’ first goal was the only difference between the sides at the interval but he added two in four minutes just before the hour – one from the spot – to put Dave Altendorff’s side in firm control.

Phoenix got one back and scored again after Ben Pope had made it 4-2 – with the points keeping Lancing fourth in the table.
