Ben Knight hat trick seals remarkable fight back for Ascot United FC

It was quite a remarkable afternoon at Ascot Racecourse this afternoon as Ascot United came from 2-0 down to beat visitors Tuffley Rovers 6-3 in the Uhlsport Hellenic Premier League.

In form Rovers beat Binfield a couple of weeks back, and raced into a 2-0 lead with 22 minutes gone.

James Brazier and Charlie Samuels levelled things up for the Yellamen before half time and a 20 minute hat trick for Knight in the second half sealed a remarkable comeback although there was still time for Tuffley to pull one back and Samuels to add his second of the afternoon.
