Salisbury continued their great run of form by collecting three points via a debut winner from Nathan Odokonyero against a 10-man Dagenham and Redbridge. Match report by Dexter Allison.
The Whites started looking to attack the Daggers' defence quickly, feeding balls down the channels and back into the pockets for Tommy Willard and Josh Hedges to fashion early chances.
The hosts were pegged back for the majority of the first half and limited to shots from range to try and find the opener.
The best chance of the half fell to Mo Dabre after some tidy play around the Dagenham box eased him through on goal, but the chance went agonisingly wide.
There was a late twist before the whistle blew for half-time, as Dagenham striker Stan Leech was sent off for an off-the-ball incident in the 44th minute.
After the interval, it was clear Salisbury smelled blood and looked to come out of the blocks just as eager as they did in the first half.
The Daggers' back line remained stubborn as the Whites tried to find the opener.

At the hour mark, Brian Dutton made what came to be an inspired double substitution, making amendments to the front line, as Bray and debutant Odokonyero replaced Willard and Dabre.
The visitors had a late scare after a dominant second-half performance, as a Dagenham man looked to be through on goal, but Revan was able to speedily recover to keep the scoreline level.
Moments later, as the pressure to score mounted on Salisbury, Ollie Morgan made a late run into the box and had a headed attempt saved, but Odokonyero was able to tap home the rebound in the 77th minute for the Whites' second consecutive win in 2026.
The hosts had nothing to lose after the goal, attempting to throw the kitchen sink in the dying embers, but the Whites' defence stayed resolute.
Salisbury remain in 16th, but move nine points clear of the drop zone.
