Saffron Walden Town 3 Stansted 5

Callum Ibe netted a first half brace as Stansted netted five in an extraordinary derby victory against Saffron Walden Town.  Ibe curled the visitors ahead in the eighth minute before Connor Hammond netted a penalty in the 17^th minute to double his sides lead.  Spike Bell, who was making his 400^th appearance for the Bloods netted one back in the 21^st minute before a controversial own goal after visiting keeper Turner appeared to be bundled into the net brought Walden level six minutes before the break.  But Ibe then netted from close range in first half stoppage time to restore the visitors lead, but the hosts saw Lewis Francis level from the spot just before the hour, however Jack Mitchell again restored the Airportmen’s lead minutes later.  And with five minutes remaining substitute James Peagram volleyed home on debut to seal this absorbing contest and sent the visitors back to the summit of the league.  Walden remain in fourth.
