Torquay United moved up to third place in National League South after coming from a goal down to beat mid-table Worthing 2-1 at Plainmoor.

Jack Spong's long-range effort gave Worthing a 36th-minute lead, but half-time substitute Omar Mussa levelled the scores six minutes after the restart.

Jay Foulston headed home a 71st-minute corner to extend Torquay's unbeaten run to four matches.

"It's a really good night for us," Gulls boss Paul Wotton told BBC Radio Devon.

"I thought as a spectacle for a neutral I'm sure it was a great game.

"A packed out Plainmoor and to come back from 1-0 down doesn't happen very often, so really pleasing."
