Brigg found themselves 2-0 down at Nettleham heading into half-time and staring at only their second defeat of the season before staging a perfect second-half fightback.

But despite losing their goalscorer, the visitors were level just two minutes later when Jake Reed pounced to make it 2-2.
With 40 minutes still to play at Mulsanne Park, there looked plenty of time for more goals.
Yet the game remained deadlocked until the 90th minute when Moody popped up with the winner.
