Ebbsfleet United 1-2 Altrincham

Altrincham gave themselves hope of launching a push for the play-offs after leaving Ebbsfleet with all three points in a 2-1 away victory.

United's top scorer Chris Senior opened the scoring in the 14th minute, registering his seventh goal of the season, after firing low into the bottom-left corner from inside the area.

Graham Heathcote's men went into the break 1-0 up but gave themselves a two-goal cushion in the 52nd minute when Greg Young headed home from close range from Matt Doughty's inswinging corner.

Scott Ginty pulled the home side level with a drilled effort into the bottom-right corner 10 minutes later, but Altringham held on to grab a valuable three points.
