Hendon leave it late again

Belal Aite-Ouakrim pounced for the only goal of the game in the 90th minute when home keeper Andy Walker failed to hold a stinging low cross by Dean Cracknell at Cray.

It was the sixth successive away game in which Hendon had scored in the 89th minute or later, and the third in a row where that late goal was a match-winner. They are up to 16th in the table.

Cray had much the better of the first half in a lively game but their pressure produced few clear chances and it was Hendon who came closest to scoring when a fierce drive by James Fisher was inadvertently blocked, almost on the line, by teammate Lee O'Leary.

The second half was more even: in the closing stages it was Hendon who looked more likely to break the deadlock. And, eventually, they did.
