Boston Town staged a remarkable comeback to continue their fine form away from home.
Trailing 2-0 just before half-time, they were also down to 10 men with Jordan Nuttell in the sin bin.
But Marshall Young pulled one back before the interval with a superb strike from 25 yards – his 9th goal of the season.
And Nuttell was immediately back in the thick of the action after the break as George Hobbins prodded home to make it 2-2.
The home side were apparently furious about him coming back onto the pitch – with one member of the coaching side shown the red card for protesting.
It had been Micky Nuttell who was on the scoresheet last time Boston won at Heanor – way back in 1989. Fast forward 33 years and it was son Jordan who grabbed a goal of his own as the game tilted further towards to the visitors.
Heanor pressed for an equaliser but Travis Portas pulled off a couple of fine saves before new signing Flynn Slater helped himself to a debut goal to seal the points.
That’s now 7 wins in 8 away games for the Poachers – and they’ve scored 4 in each of the last 3.
On Saturday (10 December), Martyn Bunce’s side have another tough away day at rivals Sleaford Town, kick-off 3pm at Eslaforde Park.
Town: Portas, Wilson, Field, J Tate, Mucklin, Hobbins, Beeson, Waddington (Slater), J Nuttell, Young, Bayliss; unused subs: Maddison, Borbely
