Dial Square suffered another setback in West Sussex after losing 4-1 away to Infinity at The Lumacon Stadium.

It marked Dial's fourth consecutive defeat since the start of the season, as boss Steve Brown continues to struggle for continuity.

A 53rd-minute strike from Jimmy Norman cancelled out Ashton Leigh's opener, but a second half hat-trick from Zach Willett gave the hosts a resounding victory to move up to second in the table.

On a very dry, hard pitch, it was a relatively uneventful opening 25 minutes.

But that appeared to change when George Lawrence found the back of the net for Dial on the half-hour mark, only for his effort to be chalked off for offside.

Seventeen-year-old goalkeeper Callum Miles, making only his third start for Dial, managed to keep the hosts at bay with some decent saves, with Ross Ewen heading over for Dial at the other end as the game began to open up.

It was the Phoenixes though who broke the deadlock when Leigh rifled a free-kick into the top corner on the cusp of half-time to give the hosts the lead.

Dial managed to equalise just eight minutes after the break when Norman curled a shot over Matt Gregg from 30 yards to put the visitors back on level terms.

Daniel Cenzano came close to giving the Dial the lead five minutes later, but it was Infinity who managed to regain the advantage from a solo effort from Willett midway through the second half.

An error of judgement from Miles gifted Willett with his second of the afternoon a few minutes later to make it 3-1 as Dial notably began to tire.

And there was no stopping Willett from completing his second hat-trick in four days late on to complete the scoring.
