Maidenhead saw off struggling Dorking 4-2 at York Road to pull clear of the Vanarama National League relegation zone.

Sam Beckwith gave Maidenhead the lead with a low shot into the bottom corner after 10 minutes, but Charlie Carter soon fired Dorking level.

The Magpies were back in front in the 28th minute through a long-range effort by Reece Smith and winger Jayden Mitchell-Lawson added a third with a fine solo effort just before the break.

Wanderers reduced the deficit in the 66th minute when Jason Prior headed in following a swift counter-attack, but Tristan Abrahams scored late fourth for Maidenhead, who climb to 16th.
