FC Isle of Man came from behind to beat top of the table Wythenshawe in a dramatic night at The Bowl.
The Ammies arrived at The Bowl having won their last four with an eight point lead.
Wythenshawe took the lead when Steven Hewitt’s free kick floated over everyone and crept into Adam Killey’s far corner.
The Ravens weren’t behind for long however as Ste Whitley’s cross evaded everyone in the box, bamboozled keeper Ryan Forde and similarly crept in at the back post.
Following a string of good saves from Killey to keep the game level at the break, Rick Holden’s side took the lead in the 53rd minute when Dean Pinnington showed his strength to hold off a defender before slotting past Forde.
From there the Ravens had a strong rearguard action and some saves from Killey to thank for maintaining that lead.
As the game wore on, Pinnington could have had a second when released by Marques Joao Pedro, but Forde got down well to save.
At the other end, the Ravens’ goal was living a charmed life as Carl Clark cleared a deep corner off the line before a second clearance on the line from Harry Best popped up with Killey doing well to save.
Killey then made a good stop and gather in added time to secure the points.
The Ravens are back in action next Saturday at home to Abbey Hey.
Man of the match: Al Maitland
