South Shields put in a superb performance at high flying Newton Aycliffe last night to claim their first away victory in a 4-1 win for Gary Steadmans men.

Shields started brightly and they were to be rewarded early on when a strong run down the left from Alex Benjamin on three minutes created the space to pass across the face of goal for Stephen Ramsey to finish.

Shields doubled their lead on 29 minutes when a free kick taken from the right by Paul Talbot beat everyone in the box, including the keeper, and the ball went straight into the bottom of the net.

It took 37 minutes for the home side to create their first chance when a long ball was played downfield for Gardner to chase, and he unleashed a strike from 20 yards that rattled the Shields crossbar.

On the stroke of half time Alex Benjamin scored a contender for goal of the season. Picking the ball up on the half way line the number 9 looked up, noticed the keeper off his line, and last seasons league top scorer struck a superb effort that went over the keeper and into the back of the net.

The second half was more of an even contest as the home side tried to get back into the game.

Jonny Ball pulled off a number of fine saves in an attempt to keep a clean sheet, but on 77 minutes Newton Aycliffe pulled one back through John Close following a scramble in box.

But Shields were to put the victory beyond doubt in injury time as Alex Benjamin displaced the keeper who had again ventured outside the box and cooly spotted the ball in to grab his second goal.

Gary Steadman's side will aim to make it back to back away victories when they travel to Billingham Town in the FA Vase on Saturday.
