Jordan Maguire-Drew feels two quick-fire goals for Dagenham & Redbridge during the second half of a 3-1 win at Bromley in the National League nullified any potential threat the Ravens offered.

A first goal for Corey Whitely since joining Daggers from Enfield Town put the visitors ahead at Hayes Lane, but Rob Swanie equalised for the hosts in the 50th minute.

However, goals from Maguire-Drew and Oliver Hawkins put the Essex club back in front and they never looked back as John Still’s men held on to remain top of the National League.

And the teenage winger believes the victory, Daggers’ fourth in a row, was down to how quickly the Victoria Road side scored their second and third goals.

“It was a great performance all-round, Bromley are a tough side to beat,” said Maguire-Drew. “They’re big, strong and physical, but when we got the second and third goals in quick succession, that was it.

In the build-up to Maguire-Drew’s goal, Swaine was dismissed for fouling Fejiri Okenabirhie with the Bromley defender picking up his second yellow card.

And the on-loan Brighton & Hove Albion winger admits that further aided Daggers, who were able to add a third soon after with Hawkins netting from the spot after Maguire-Drew was fouled in the box.

“They’d had a man sent off and the game opened up. We executed the game well, it was great game management from us,” he added.
