Norwich United’s bad start to the season continued with a 5-2 reversal at Brentwood Town which leaves them rooted to the bottom of the table.
Steve Eastaugh included on loan Henry Pollock and new signing Matt Brown in his starting line-up.
The Planters went behind after 19 minutes when Matt Price scored from the spot. Harrison Georgiou extended the lead seven minutes later and Andrew Freeman gave the hosts a three goal lead eight minutes before the break.
Lawrence Cheese scored his first goal for the club to reduce the arrears three minutes before half time to give the Planters some hope and when Ben Jones scored a second goal thirteen minutes ino the second half hopes of rescuing something from the game were heightened.
Matt Price calmed home nerves slotting home a second penalty with just four minutes remaining and he completed his hat trick with an injury time goal.
