Kemp fired the Boro in front against the run of play just after the hour as Charlie Goode's throw eventually found the forward.

Kayden Jackson saw his strike saved inside the last 10 minutes before Marschall pulled off a big save to keep out Powell.

He then ensured the points in stoppage-time when he kept out Sarcevic's header.
