The highest-scoring game in the club’s history, trailing 5-1 after a 14-minute collapse in the first half, Guernsey fought back with goals from Will Fazakerley, Charlton Gauvain, Jacob Fallaize, Fin du Port, and Sam Murray, who scored the decisive goal assisted by Ross Allen with 12 minutes remaining.

Shoreham manager Josh Rondel: I promised goals to the fans with plenty more to come! And when our CBs come back we’ll look to sure up the other side of our game too! Up The Musselmen 💙 See you Tuesday 💙”

@ShorehamFC:
62’ GOAL. It’s 5-4… It seems very soft. Penalty converted. If Joe Southam was in net, still would’ve gone in. And I’m not lying.

@GuernseyFC:
63′ | GOAL! Fin du Port goes down in a tangle of legs and the referee points to the spot… He steps up to take it himself, and sends the keeper the wrong way! 🔵 5-4 🦁

@ShorehamFC:
73’ GOAL(S) 6-6… Penny for the thoughts of anyone who isn’t as drunk as I am. Not sure what has happened. I’ve missed two goals in the toilet.

@GuernseyFC:
78′ | GOAL! Ross Allen gets down the left wing and cuts back for Sam Murray who makes no mistake to take the lead! 🔵 6-7 🦁

@GuernseyFC:
90+3′ | FULL TIME – The Green Lions roar back from 5-1 down to beat Shoreham 7-6. An unbelievable game – Guernsey might have made double figures if not for an outstanding goalkeeping performance! 🔵 6-7 🦁

Here’s how fans reacted to the incredible scenes as Guernsey come back from 5-1 down to beat Shoreham 7-6…

@GFC_Stats: Woah! @GuernseyFC’s highest scoring game with 13 goals beating the previous record of 11 (6-5 v Rye United and 7-4 v Croydon). Sam Murray now onto 40 goals for the Green Lions having bagged his 8th and 9th of the campaign. Defensive training session this week @TonyVanceGSY?

@ChilternLlama: The maddest game ever seen but what a comeback lads. Terrific debut from young Rihoy. Now in the Vase on Saturday, can we try out this boring, old fashioned thing called defending? My blood pressure can’t cope! 🤣 YFUMS

@OunsworthDecor: Loved watching this game….preferred it to watching the Premier league 💪🏼

@Helgz_: Is this football or a tie-break? 🎾🤣

@nonleaguesouths: Game of the season so far? 5-2 down at halftime and went on to half a second half for the history books!

@Jack_Wad_V2: Shipping 6 goals with 20 minutes to go when you were 5-1 up, then posting a 6 7 meme at full time is certainly a choice…

@AdamSimmo73: What a crazy night of football 😂

@WSXSAFC: The Southern Combination is at it again.

@MillwallDan85: Imagine being a Guernsey fan who left at half time 5-1 down 🤣😂

@LCFCandCFCloyal: YOU WERE 5-1 UP 😂😂😂😂

@johnwxxiv: One for the record books ?

@Something_Tall: Mental. Speechless. Will never attend another game quite like that. Even with being 5-2 down at HT, you just knew more goals were coming! Up the Green Lions!!!!

@DaveBuchanan3: What a comeback!

@sartejt: Non-league remains undefeated

@LUFC_Jamie10: Absolutely incredible 😍

@HaigK21: That is fucking mental 🤯

@harmann03: Probably one of the best games ive seen live i must admit.. mental game 🤪
