TWO late goals gave Grays Athletic three vital points against rivals Billericay Town at Mill Field.

Substitute Dumebi Dumaka and in-form winger Joao Carlos were the men who made the difference for The Blues.

It was good work by Joao Carlos down the wing that led to the goal by Dumaka and then Carlos scored the second with a well-taken free kick.

The result means that Grays move into ninth place in the league, nine points off the play-offs with three games in hand.

The match also saw the full return of former Reading star, Glen Little, who makes such a difference to the team, when he plays.

The goals looked like a matter of time for Grays as both Freddie Ladapo and Jamie Guy had good chances.
