Braintree battle back to earn first away win of season at Eastleigh

Braintree hit back to beat Eastleigh 2-1 for their first away win of the season.

Tyrese Shade fired Eastleigh into a 25th-minute lead with a superb individual effort, dribbling his way into the box and planting a low finish into the bottom corner.

Shade sliced another chance over the crossbar early in the second half before Braintree equalised through Tom Blackwell, who headed home Chay Cooper’s looping cross in the 54th minute.

Braintree clinched victory after George Langston’s 82nd-minute long throw was flicked on in the box and Frankie Terry pounced to head the winner off Eastleigh’s Paul McCallum.
