There were fireworks on Bonfire Night with plenty of goals as well as gunpowder with National League Cup, National League North and National League South action.

The scoring just won’t stop in the National League Cup following a thrilling opening few weeks to the competition.

Lewis Walker’s brace saw Woking draw 4-4 with Southampton, while James Henry’s double wasn’t enough for Aldershot Town as goals from Marcus Ifill, Josh Duffus and Caylab Vickers earned Brighton a win.

Managerless Boston United defeated Sunderland 1-0 thanks to an own goal as Josh Umerah helped ten man Dagenham past a young West Brom. Tamworth and Newcastle drew 1-1 as Maidenhead United beat Derby County on penalties after it ended 3-3.

Aidan Barlow also notched twice as Rochdale beat Blackburn 4-1. Elsewhere Forest Green went down 4-0 to Stoke, while it wasn’t to be for Wealdstone at home to Fulham. Braintree were just too strong for West Ham, it was a fine 4-2 win as the Iron bettered the Irons.

It was an incredible night at the top of the National League North with the top three all losing.

Rob Ramshaw's late winner killed off Scunthorpe United as Spennymoor Town made up for recent home set-backs.

Chorley suffered a surprise 3-0 loss at Marine, Enock Lusiama scored two great goals.

Chasers King’s Lynn Town also slipped up. Farsley Celtic left the Walks 2-0 winners, Darren Stephenson and Manasse Mampala on target.

Connor Kirby was at the double too as Buxton got the better of Scarborough Athletic, who played for 70 minutes a man short. Oxford City won for a third game in a row, leaving Hereford with three points.

Michael Gyasi’s incredible hat-trick turned Peterborough Sports’ game with Alfreton Town around.

Radcliffe win again, defeating Leamington with Rick Smith and Jordan Hulme scoring and Adam Mills couldn’t quite be the match winner as Needham Market drew 1-1 at Rushall Olympic.

Cedric Main, however, was the match winner for Darlington against Chester.

In the National League South, Eastbourne Borough stay top as they recovered from going a goal down to beat Welling United. In-form George Alexander followed up his weekend hat-trick with two more.

The title challengers were almost helped by Weymouth at Weston-super-Mare, Jaiden Bartolo nearly won it before Reuben Reid salvaged a point.

Player-manager Scott Davies lead by example with a fine free-kick, pictured, as Slough Town beat Bath City 3-0 as Harrison Smith scored Worthing’s late winner over Aveley.
