ELY City twice came from behind to beat a useful-looking Clacton Town side on Saturday to stay on the heels of Division One leaders Tiptree United.
Simon Warren's own goal put Clacton ahead, but Andy Pettit soon got the hosts back on terms after good work by Robbie Mason.
The Essex side led again at the start of the second period, only to quickly concede an equaliser once more.
This time it was Tony Brown who levelled the scores, and City finally took control after that to win 4-2 with a brace from Mason.
"That's got to rate amongst our best performances of the season," said 'Robins' boss Dennis Lightning afterwards.
