Burton 3-1 Ebbsfleet

Aaron Webster hit a brace and Keith Gilroy struck once as Burton saw off 10-man Ebbsfleet.

Webster stole in unmarked to convert Gilroy's cross after three minutes to give his side the half-time lead.

Gilroy tapped home on 54 minutes after Paris Simmons' shot came back off the bar before Kezie Ibe pulled one back.

But Webster nodded home from another Gilroy cross and Ebbsfleet's Mark Ricketts was dismissed for foul and abusive language in the last minute.
