The Millers took on The Millers with the hosts prevailing three nil after two goals in five minutes all but ended the contest earlier on.

It was a 62-day wait for an Aveley home game on a Saturday and they made a quick start to getting ahead. Within a minute of the kick-off, Aveley almost opened the scoring. Matty Johnson’s long throw headed on by Harris almost found Toby Aromolaran, but it was hooked off the line.

The hosts didn’t have to wait long; inside three minutes, it was 1-0. A long throw ended up with Ryan Henshaw having an effort smack the post and land to Jesse Nwabueze, who fired home from close range.

Two minutes later, and one became two. Another long throw, another Harris flick on went into the path of Tony Aromolaran, who finished for his first goal at home for Aveley.

It was a wave after wave of Aveley attack as they looked to kill the game off. Matty Johnson almost connected with a Jesse cross; Jesse went alone twice in quick succession, but his efforts went off target.

George Saunders whipped in a great cross into the box; it found the head of Harry Haysom, but his header hit the side netting.

A 2-0 score line is dangerous, and it should’ve been three within two minutes of the restart. Toby Aromolaran down the right found Chris Harris six yards out, but the ball bounced up as the striker hit it, seeing the ball fly over the bar from close range.

The visitors had a passage of play for around ten minutes in the second half, but were restricted to efforts from Tom Beere, but his effort was blocked well by Henshaw.

Harry Haysom came close again to grabbing Aveley’s third of the game. Ryan Charles floated in a cross that Haysom met, but his header from close range went over the bar.

With twenty minutes to go, Aveley were given the chance to make it three, this time from the penalty spot after Chris Harris was fouled by the Cray Valley keeper on debut. Jesse Nwabueze stepped up and saw his spot kick saved; the follow-up was crossed into the back post, but Matty Johnson’s effort hit the post.

In the 83rd minute it was finally game set and match. A corner from Robinson was flicked on by Haysom and powered home by Ollie Muldoon at the back post to make it three nil.

The visitors did have one last effort on goal, a brilliant strike from Tom Beere cracked the crossbar and bounced the kind side of the line for Aveley as they secured a clean sheet, three goals and three points.
