Three first-half goals from Alejandro Cardenas, Remel Green and Anas Aouimer put Borough firmly in control as they extended their unbeaten run.

Arriving on the back of a 7-3 victory over local rivals Brimsdown FC, Borough needed just seven minutes to open the scoring.

Cardenas produced a fine piece of individual skill, flicking the ball over a defender before racing clear and driving a powerful low finish into the net.

The 18-year-old's goal set the tone as Borough dictated the tempo and continued to cause problems for the home defence.

Their pressure paid off again after 21 minutes when in-form striker Green finished from close range to double the advantage.

Borough added a superb third around the half-hour mark after turning defence into attack following a Dunmow corner.

The visitors cleared the danger and quickly found Cardenas out wide.

He drove forward before cutting the ball back to Aouimer on the edge of the box, who took a touch before firing an excellent strike into the top corner.

It continued Aouimer's fine form after he scored four times in the previous week's win over Brimsdown and gave Borough a commanding 3-0 half-time lead.

There were no further goals after the break, but Borough remained in control, managing possession well and showing greater defensive discipline to restrict Dunmow's opportunities.

Manager Olu Durojaiye was delighted with another confident display and particularly pleased with the contribution of the club's youngsters.

He said: “I'm really pleased with the way we're currently performing. The team is in great form and we're going into every game with confidence.

“Alejandro was outstanding and he's only 18. Anas is in fine form and is still a teenager.

“We also brought on Tahvae and Brooklyn, who are both just 16 years old. Tahvae has attracted a lot of interest with his recent performances and I thought Brooklyn also did very well.”

The result continued Borough's improvement following a difficult start to the season, combining their recent attacking form with greater defensive solidity.
