Wealdstone left Gander Green Lane with a convincing win on 21 February, defeating Sutton United by a scoreline that will have raised eyebrows across the division. The visitors controlled large portions of the afternoon and scored five times without reply.
Sutton started brightly enough, but Wealdstone took the lead on 14 minutes through Junior Eccleston, who gave the home defence an early problem they could not resolve. That goal appeared to settle the visitors and unsettle the hosts, who offered little by way of a sustained response before the break.
The second half brought a flood of Wealdstone activity. Hayden Muller added a second five minutes after the restart, and Lewis Simper struck twice in quick succession around the hour mark to effectively end Sutton as an attacking force. The substitutions made by both benches brought fresh legs but no change in the pattern. Ashley Nadesan came on for Sutton in the 71st minute, while Dubem Eze extended the lead to four on 75 minutes.
Wealdstone continued pressing and Kai Jennings completed the scoring with goals in the 87th and 90th minutes, though by that stage the result had long been settled.
Sutton's afternoon was made more difficult by the departures of Sakariya Hassan and Terrell Agyemang through the middle of the second half, leaving the home side stretched and short of options when they needed them most.
