Strikers Aaron Jarvis and Bradley Ash put Farnborough to the sword as Torquay United banished the memory of their tame defeat at Aveley on a rousing night at Plainmoor.
Jarvis fired them into a first-half lead, Ash popped in a poacher’s second midway through the second half before Jarvis converted a 97th minute penalty after Farnborough defender Jack Ball had been sent off for conceding it.
