There were two goals in the opening five minutes, with Destiny Oladipo’s opener for Wingate cancelled out by Tom Derry.

Ogo Obi, the former Maidstone forward, fired Wingate into a 3-1 lead but Invicta captain Ian Gayle’s double made it all-square.

The hosts had Rhamar Garrett-Douglas sent off at 3-2.

Chatham have their first win of the season after late goals from Rowan Liburd and Jack Evans in a 2-0 victory at Bowers & Pitsea.

Dartford bounced back from their midweek home defeat by Potters Bar to defeat Canvey Island 2-0 thanks to second-half goals from Sam Oduadu and Tyler Christian-Law.

Cray Valley made it two wins from three since promotion by defeating Cheshunt 4-2 at home.

Danny Waldren, Freddie Parker and Cem Tumkaya struck as the Millers raced into a 3-0 lead inside 23 minutes.

Parker added his second after the break, with the visitors pulling two back through Darion Furlong and ex-Maidstone and Welling defender Taylor Curran.

In-form George Nikaj continued his flying start to the campaign by scoring the opener in Dover’s 1-1 draw at Billericay.

Ashley Nzala levelled five minutes later.

Nyren Clunis scored the consolation as Cray Wanderers lost 3-1 at Hendon.
