Sussex County League Division One

Redhill 4

Arundel 0

Redhill romped to a 4-0 victory over a brutish Arundel side, helped by a wonder goal from new boy Tyron Sealey, writes Kaylee Seckington.

The physical Arundel side finished the match with nine men and goals from Sealey, Ali Kyezu, Lee Radford and Daniel Morris insured they went home empty handed.

Manager Marcus Alcindor admits he expected the Reds to start putting the goals away.

"We've been threatening to have a match like that for a long time," he said.

"We've been more direct and we're actually getting balls into the danger area and hitting the target. We got what we deserved tonight.

"Arundel tried to kick us off the pitch. They know we are a pretty team and so they tried to be physical, we stood up to that, but also the referee did his job. To be fair they were already beaten before they got anyone sent off, so I don't think it had a big effect."

Arundel had the best of the early chances, and a well directed header looked like it was going to open the scoring until the referee blew for an infringement.

For much of the first half hour the match was contained in the midfield as both teams did a lot of running for little reward, with the only significant shot, from Arundel captain Josh Biggs, going well wide.

With five minutes left of the first half, the home side picked up, and a Calvin Headley free-kick produced confusion in the Arundel area, but shouts of handball were ignored by the referee.

On 42 minutes, Sealey made his presence felt, when from just outside the penalty area, he unleashed a thunderbolt from nowhere that hit the crossbar and went in, leaving keeper Ben O'Connor with no chance.

The previously goal-shy Lobsters now had a taste for it, and Leon Dussard and Chris Hubbard both tried their luck from distance.

Arundel, again, started the second half the livelier team, shooting wildly at goal and putting in ferocious tackles left, right and centre.

Minutes into the restart, Steve Sneller was sent off for a vicious tackle on Josh Bonnett from behind.

On 55 minutes Ali Kyezu made it 2-0 with a neat header.

Redhill weren't playing like a team with a two goal and one man advantage, and it took until the 72nd minute to settle the match when, after good work from Daniel Morris and Hubbard, substitute Lee Radford arrived in the box late to smash in a third.

Arundel were soon down to nine men after Paul Grantham was given a red as the last defender for a foul on Hubbard.

The scoreline was finished off deep in added time, when a superb long ball by Charlie Stagg was rifled home by Morris.
