Visitors Fisher came from behind to progress in the London Senior Cup at the expense of Erith and Belvedere.

Teddy Jones had an early chance for Fisher when he sneaked in behind from Thomas Ngegeba’s pass but he slotted it beyond the far post, then Charles Yiadom-Konadu tried to chip Kayden Abnett in the Erith goal but it went just over.

Khemani Aiyanyo had an opportunity for the Deres when cutting in and shooting but Arthur Leblond made a good save, pushing it away. Aiyanyo was again in the thick of it when making room for himself and curling over.

It came as no surprise when he opened the scoring seven minutes before half time. Harry Smart sent in an inviting deep free kick and Aiyanyo side-footed home from close range.

They almost repeated the trick early in the second period when Aiyanyo met Smart’s free kick with a close range header but Arthur Leblond made an excellent reaction save.

That proved to be pivotal as Fisher levelled almost immediately. Luke Thomas took a long free kick that deceived the Erith defence and Jones went through to slide it home.

Tobi Irefin had a shot deflected over after good work by Jones before a long range effort by  Yiadom-Konadu flew over.

Midway through the second half the visitors went ahead. Thomas Ngegba combined well with Irefin before striding through and slipping it home.

After that, the young Deres side never looked like getting into the game. Flavio Jumo hit a shot straight at Abnett and substitute Eniyelayefa Amgbaduba had an effort deflected over as Fisher continued to press. Brandy Makuendi passed inside to Emmanuel Brown who turned and shot over. 

Even in the seven minutes of added time, Fisher pressed and Prince Imoru came close but shot just wide of the near post. However, the hosts did have one last attempt at taking the tie to penalties but Pierce Ellis shot over with the last kick of the match.
