Craig Eastmond of Sutton United scores their winning goal.

After falling behind to Aswad Thomas’ 22nd-minute opener, Pools took the lead courtesy of goals from Niko Muir and Liam Noble early in the second half.

But Matthew Bates’ side couldn’t hold onto their advantage, as Tom Bolarinwa popped up with a second-half equaliser, before Craig Eastmond netted the winner.
