SUBSTITUTE Nelson Khumbeni scored in the seventh minute of stoppage time to earn Eastleigh a dramatic 1-0 National League win over 10-man Hartlepool at Victoria Park.
Pools had to play practically the entire second half with 10 men after Neo Eccleston, booked in first-half stoppage time, was shown a second yellow within a minute after the break.
Lee Clark’s side were moments away from a battling point when on-loan Gillingham midfielder Khumbeni, introduced in the 86th minute, pounced to help Eastleigh claim a third win in four games.
The home side went close through Will Harris and Maxim Kouogun but suffered a second successive defeat.
