United s top scorer Peter Baker added to his goal tally with a 90th minute strike after Sam Assefi put the basement club ahead in the 65th minute.

Sidley are now lying in fourth, eight points behind leaders Burgess Hill but with two games in hand.

Bexhill Town s revival under caretaker-coach Mark Simpson continued as The Green Machine came from behind to beat Crowborough Athletic 3-1.

The familiar early goal for Town s opponents came from Wright with Rob Warner equalising just before half time.

The psychological advantage was with the visitors and an early second half goal from Conrad Sparks confirmed Bexhill s determination to lift themselves off the bottom of Division Three.

Sparks added another with 15 minutes left on the clock to seal the victory and elevate Town three places at the foot of the table.
