Debut-making Tommy Willard set them on their way just before half-time and Ollie Pearce’s second half double – the league’s top scorer netting for the seventh game in a row – made sure of the points.
Worthing are now only 10 points behind leaders Yeovil, who lost today, and are 10 clear of Aveley, who now occupy the first spot outside the play-off places.
