EVESHAM United put in another scintillating performance with an emphatic 5-1 victory over Larkhall Athletic to end their four-match unbeaten run.

It was Evesham’s biggest home win of the season and a memorable day for striker Lance Smith, who struck four times.

Larkhall took the lead in the 12th minute when Joe Tumelty scored in the Evo-Stik Southern League Division One South and West clash.

But Evesham levelled after 25 minutes when Nick Stanley’s good work set up Smith to net.

Early in the second half, Adam Mann put a great low cross in from the left and Smith scored from close range.

Smith completed his hat-trick in the 78th minute after a fantastic Lorcan Sheehan cross and he headed home.

On 86 minutes, a great though-ball from Leroy Odeiro found fellow substitute Mark Magee, who sprung the offside trap to run at goal and coolly finish past the keeper for his first goal for the club.

Smith was brought down in the box by keeper Ben John, who was given a straight red card in the last minute of injury-time.

Evesham's top-scorer easily put away the penalty for his fourth goal of the afternoon.

United: Sawyer, Dovey, Stanley (Odeiro 66), Turley, Harding, Williams, Kennedy (Binns 59), Sheehan, Smith, Mann (Magee 73), Fahy. Subs not used: Sloggett, Sysum.
