Truro City boss John Askey says his side's late 3-2 loss at struggling Enfield Town was 'really disappointing'.

The Tinners conceded twice in the final minutes of second-half stoppage time as they saw victory slip away from them against the side fifth-from-bottom.

Truro stay in second place in National League South despite the loss, but are now four points behind leaders Worthing, who have a game in hand.

Tyler Harvey converted a ninth-minute penalty after he had been fouled in the box.

And Truro's top scorer made it 2-0 with a second spot-kick following a foul on Luke Jephcott after 40 minutes.

Harry Sidwell pulled a goal back for Enfield five minutes into the second half before Jephcott hit the post late on in the game.

But Enfield twice struck through Lewis Knight in stoppage time - his first goal came in the fifth additional minute before the winner two minutes later.

The loss ended a 10-game unbeaten run that had seen City win six games in seven.

"With so little time to go you should see the game out," Askey told BBC Radio Devon.

"But it was one of those days where anything can happen, it's probably the worst conditions you could possibly play in, you couldn't he couldn't play, so we'd done well to come in at half time with two goals.

"But with so little time to go you should see it out and we haven't, which is really disappointing.

"I can't be too hard on the players, they gave everything again and for whatever reason we've ended up conceding two goals."
