A superb strike from Jordan Carter, followed by three goals from Charlie Marshall, Harry Rice and Adam Aziz, gave Dial a comfortable 4-2 win to extend their unbeaten run to twelve games.

After high-scoring back-to-back wins against Westminster Casuals and Bagshot, Dial boss Steve Brown almost had the cream of the crop to choose from, with only Will Neville, Aidan Doran and Noel Fortune unavailable.

However, the game-management didn't go entirely to plan when Rangers who took a surprise 13th-minute lead when Rory Cornelius was gifted a free header to beat Andy Rider from close range.

It didn't take long for Dial to be back on level terms when Carter half-volleyed the ball over Nikolai Krimer from 20 yards after the visitors failed to clear their lines.

Rice had a great opportunity to put Dial ahead when he outwitted two defenders in the box only to see his toe-poke shot saved by Krimer's legs.

At the other end, Cornelius was equally well-placed to score for the villagers but his shot flew past the far post with Rider at full-stretch.

With Dial enjoying the lion's share of possession, Carter looked to have beaten the off-side trap before sliding the ball past Krimer, only for the goal to be ruled out shortly before half-time.

Dial eventually got their noses in front just five minutes after the restart when Marshall was on hand to redirect Rice's low cross into the back of the net.

The visitors had a penalty appeal waived away when Luke Mitchell thought he was fouled by Dylan Averiss midway through the second half. Rice then came close to getting on the scoresheet but fired over after outmanoeuvring three defenders on the edge of the box.

Rice's endeavour finally paid off when he latched onto the end of George Lawrence's low cross to place the ball past Krimer to make it 3-1 in the 86th-minute.

Lawrence was inches away from extending Dial's advantage when his low shot struck the inside of the post, before Aziz put the game beyond reach four minutes into stoppage time.

Despite Cornelius pulling a goal back three minutes later, it was little more than a consolation in a match which Dial enjoyed considerably more possession.

Reflecting on the performance, Brown said: "I thought we started very well; we must have had 90% of the possession before they scored, which was disappointing as we were undone through some sloppy defending.

"I thought we were more casual against Keens Park [Rangers] than we were the previous two weeks. We can and will play better, but credit to the opposition, they worked hard and disrupted our usual free-flowing football.

"It was a bit frenetic at times; we just needed to take the sting out of the game, but when you look across the squad, we didn't have many older heads to help steady the game.

"It was nice for Adam [Aziz] to get his first goal for the club, as well as the other front-three chipping in with the goals. And while we could have been more solid defensively, I thought we played the ball out well from the back. Importantly though, a win is win," he added.
