Boreham Wood snatched a dramatic 2-1 away win at Scunthorpe with a late goal to strengthen their promotion push. Ben Whitfield, a 72nd-minute substitute, struck the decisive goal just two minutes from time to complete a comeback and send the travelling Wood fans home delighted.
Luke Garrard's side now sit second in the National League table with 17 points from seven games, their unbeaten run extended to five matches. They had taken the lead immediately after half-time through Zak Brunt, who finished from close range after good work by Tobi Allarakhia. Scunthorpe hit back just before the hour mark when Tom Sellars-Fleming levelled, setting up a tense finale.
Whitfield's intervention, assisted by Cameron O'Connell, secured all three points. The victory continues an impressive run of form for Boreham Wood, who have won four of their last five league games.
Luke Richardson was booked shortly after coming on as part of a double substitution alongside Whitfield. The team's next challenge is a home fixture, with the squad looking to maintain momentum.
