Boreham Wood gave their National League survival hopes a major boost as they made it back-to-back wins by beating Aldershot 3-0 on the road.
Lee Ndlovu and Erico Sousa’s penalty put the Wood in control at the interval and Kabongo Tshimanga added a third goal in the second half to lift them to within two points of 20th-placed Ebbsfleet with two games remaining.
The visitors, who halted a six-game losing run last week with victory over Wealdstone, went ahead in the 10th minute when Ndlovu drove into the box and fired home a low finish.
Sousa converted from the spot after Shots midfielder Ryan Glover had tripped David Agbontohoma and Tshimanga applied a neat finish in the 67th minute after running on to a ball over the top.
Aldershot had their chances, Josh Stokes and Jack Barham were denied by superb Nathan Ashmore saves, but their faltering play-off hopes suffered another setback as their winless run extended to six matches.
