Steve King’s side have maintained their leading position despite a recent poor spell, which has now ended with a victory at Vauxhall Road.
Tyrique Hyde put the visitors ahead on 9 minutes, with Alfie Cerulli levelling the score just over ten minutes later.
Ade Azeez’s penalty and Hyde’s second of the game cemented the Dart’s grip on the game, with Cerulli netting a last minute consolation.

Ebbsfleet moved up to second place after demolishing Welling United at Stonebridge Road.

Welling had kept clean sheets in two of their three previous games before Saturday’s whitewash.
David Oldfield’s Oxford City side moved above Dulwich Hamlet in the table after a 2-0 home win.
