Aveley fall to second defeat at home in 2015.

In what was a battle for ninth place the Millers looked in full control until a defensive mistake gave the visitors a chance back into the game and they took full advantage to complete a fantastic turn around to claim all three points.

It was a very even game to start of with, the Millers looked slightly on top. Spencer Harrison had the first shot on target but it veered away from goal.

Pettit Elbi did well as he crossed into the far post to Liam Nash but his header came off the back of Bourke who defended well for the keeper to pick the ball up.

Again Liam Nash threatened as his superb snap shot hit the post from close range after good work from Theo Zola to create the space and cross from the right wing.

Ware were then awarded a penalty. Ex-Miller Sean Johnson was ready to take it and he walked up to the penalty and passed it wide of the target.

It was a real drab first half but on the stroke of half time the deadlock was broken.

A corner from Luke Stanley eventually fell to Sammy Knott who finished superbly into the bottom corner to give the Millers the deserved lead at half time. Aveley 1-0 Ware.

Half Time- Aveley 1-0 Ware

After a few minutes into the second half it was the Millers who were now awarded a penalty of their own to this time double the lead.

Theo Ola skipped past Karagul but was taken down in the process. Petrit Elbi stepped up and calmly slotted away to score his 19th goal of the season. Aveley 2-0 Ware.

In the 66th minute of the game it was the Millers first mistake. A defensive misunderstanding left Karagul with a free shot at goal and he smashed away to give Ware some hope. Aveley 2-1 Ware.

With fifteen minutes to go the momentum swung as Millers manager Justin Gardner was sent to the stands after reacting to Karagul stamp and push.

All the decisions seemed to then go to the visitors as they piled on the pressure.

With a minute later Ware did equalise. Sammy Knott did well to clear off the line but Da Costa came in like a steam train to smash the ball home. Aveley 2-2 Ware.

Ware then smelt blood and it was a dubious goal that was the decider in what was a cracking second half.

Millers had one defender on the half way line and not one, but two players were five yards inside the Millers half. They ran into the box and the pass to Karagul was forward and also found himself in an offside position. But Karagul tapped in the winner. Aveley 2-3 Ware.

The Millers tried to get back into the game but the introduction of Farrell and Scott just didn't do it for the hosts and the Millers succumbed to their second home defeat of 2015.

Full Time- Aveley 2-3 Ware.

Millers XI- Marrable, Kamara (Bakare), Knott, Baker, Harrison, Stanley, Ola (Farrell), Holland (C), Nash, Elbi (Scott), Retkoceri

Unused Subs- Reynolds, Essuman.
