Debutant Regan Booty’s audacious late goal completed 10-man Boreham Wood’s 3-0 victory at Gateshead in the National League.
Luke Garrard’s men lost at home to Tamworth last time out but got back to winning ways with a spirited display in the north east.
Zak Brunt scored from the spot after just five minutes, but Joe Newton’s sending-off 10 minutes before the break made life difficult for the visitors.
Gateshead pushed for a leveller before Brunt brilliantly added another in the 75th minute, with Booty, a loan signing from Barrow, wrapping things up by scoring from near the halfway line at the death.
