It was the football equivalent of four seasons in one day as Potters Bar Town triumphed in a remarkable Isthmian League Premier Division game against Concord Rangers.

The Scholars were 2-0 up at half-time after goals from Leigh Rose and Rickie Hayles, his second in two games.

However, the home crowd were left stunned as Concord roared back after the break, pulling one back through Ola Bello on 65 minutes before a Harrison Day double on 76 and 80 put them in front.

The game wasn't done though and after a penalty by Temi Babalola two minutes into stoppage time pulled the Bar level, Ola Bello smashed the winner five minutes later to make it 4-3.

Scholars manager Max Mitchell admitted his heart rate was pulsing

He said: "It was a dramatic end to a game where we were really comfortable in the first half.

"Credit to Concord, they put us under a lot of pressure and were able to drag it back and in their favour.

"But to turn it back around in those 10 minutes of stoppage time and go and get the three points, that was the main thing.

"My responsibility is to keep calm in those moments and I felt, even at 3-2, that there was enough time to go and get an equaliser and potentially a winner.

"It's frantic but it's great to be involved in games like that, even if it isn't great for the heart-rate. 

"I'm full of adrenalin and the players test me at times. It's frustrating to concede the goals we did and we looked a little bit vulnerable at times in the second half.

"But they showed a lot of resilience and perseverance so credit to them.

"Back to back wins is good but we need to leave this behind and move on."

The turnaround was a surprise to many inside the Lantern Stadium, so dominant had the home team been.

But while Mitchell praised the visitors, he also said his side was guilty of moving away from what had got them to that position.

"We were so effective in the first half," he said. "We put a lot of crosses into the box, I think eight in total, and we gained a lot of possession and territory from those moments.

"I don't think we registered one in the first 30 minutes of the second half.

"We've spoken about doing the basics and being relentless and carrying it on from the first half.

"If you step away from that, you give opportunities to teams and Concord showed a lot of fight."

The boss also took time to single out goalscorer Rose for his work on the pitch and off it where his organisation helped raise almost £200 on the day for Macmillan Cancer Support, their contribution to World Cancer Day.

Mitchell said: "There were some key performances and I have to [put a spotlight] on Leigh Rose's performance as captain, he never gave up.

"He has raised a lot of money for cancer research and did so today.

"I dedicate that win to his brother [Ware's Louis] who has had a tough time of late but Leigh was fantastic in all of his work.

"He really drove us forward in difficult moments and I felt the experienced players stood up.

"Credit to Leigh and to the team."
