The win pushed Levy to tenth place in the SSML Premier table.

Wembley were in the bottom three at start of play but kept the Green defence busy. Heavy rain before the game and in the second-half made for difficult conditions.

The opening goal came in the eighth minute. After some neat passing play, Luke Nugent hit a shot from the edge of the box which Wembley keeper Montel Joseph should have dealt with, but the keeper spilled the ball and Nair had a simple tap-in to put Green into a 1-0 lead.

Wembley continued to have more of the attacking play and finally got an equaliser in the 64th minute. Wayne Walters was allowed to run unchallenged into the Green half and play a pass through to substitute Zaied Sabti, who slotted the ball past Partington to make it 1-1.

But four minutes later a corner from Nair was headed away, but only back to Nair, who crossed it in again to Condon, who stabbed the ball home for a 2-1 win.

This Saturday Levy visit 14th-ranked North Greenford United in the league.
