Aaron Blair bagged a late brace to earn Eastleigh a 2-0 win over Boston in the National League.

Blair won and then converted a 76th-minute penalty before heading in his second in the 88th minute.

Eastleigh’s Zavier Massiah-Edwards was denied a 10th-minute opener by a brilliant block on the line from Boston defender Connor Teale and visiting goalkeeper Rhys Lovett kept out Josh Lundstram, Blair and Aaron Pierre in the second half.

But Tommy Fogarty’s foul on Blair allowed the forward to break the deadlock from the spot and he wrapped the game up by nodding home at the far post following Temitope Eweka’s header.
