The win was made special by Nathan Lowe, who netted United’s third goal from inside his own half.
In the 86th minute, the 20-year-old picked the ball up and saw goalkeeper Jas Singh off his line before lobbing him from nearly 60 yards out. (Singh, for what it's worth, will have doubtlessly endured a couple of sleepless nights since.)
Lowe's goal came just a minute after his team-mate Tom Greaves had netted the equaliser.
FC United are 13th in the 22-team National League North, 17 points off the play-offs.
