20 August 2022. Taunton Town win 2:1. (David Sims-Burgess 76', Ross Stearn 80' - and Davide Rodari 39'.) What I am confused about is the reports say one of the goals was an own goal by Kieran Murtagh, but its still given as a Taunton goal?

The Peacocks are up and running in the National League South after beating Dartford 2-1 at the Cygnet Health Care Stadium this afternoon. Davide Rodari put the visitors ahead on 39 minutes before Town fought back after the break to equalise on 76 minutes through Dave Sims-Burgess. An own goal from Kieran Murtagh then gave the hosts the lead three minutes later as the Peacocks comfortably saw the game out for the three points.
