Truro City manager John Askey hailed top scorer Tyler Harvey after he earned the Tinners a 2-1 win at Aveley in National League South.
Jaze Kabia had given Truro a 36th-minute lead, but Charlee Hughes equalised in first-half stoppage time, scoring a penalty given for handball.
But Harvey - who signed a new contract earlier this season - headed into the top corner with 11 minutes left to secure a first win in three games and send Truro sixth in National League South.
"We should have gone in two or three up, and then for some reason he gave them a penalty, which shouldn't have been, and then you're just worried that one or two decisions are going to go against us," Askey told ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Cornwall.
"But the lads have kept going and Tyler has come up with the goods again, a great header, so I'm really pleased, it gets us back to winning ways."
The goal was Harvey's seventh in the league this season and came less than a month after agreeing a new 'multi-year' deal.
"He does it time and time again, and if we keep playing the balls in there he'll score," added Askey.
"He missed a sitter first half, but like all good strikers he keeps getting in there, keeps creating chances.
"But I thought we played some good stuff and we created a lot of chances."
