Torquay United 2-3 FC Halifax Town

  • Published

Jeff King made amends for giving away two penalties as he scored a late winner to hand Halifax victory over National League leaders Torquay.

Halifax took the lead in the 34th minute through a Sam Sherring own goal.

But Torquay were not behind for long as Asa Hall fired them level from the penalty spot four minutes before the break after King was adjudged to have committed a foul.

The hosts were awarded another penalty in the 70th minute and captain Hall made no mistake from 12 yards for a second time to give his side the lead.

Jack Earing restored parity for Halifax in the 78th minute before King's effort from the edge of the area 10 minutes later won it for the visitors.

Torquay have a four-point lead over second-placed Sutton, having played three games more than the U's.
