New leaders thanks to win in top of the table clash - This weekend's National League round-up on DAZNDAZN

The 2024-25 National League season is live on DAZN, and this weekend, as the Premier League and most of the Football League took a break, every game on Saturday afternoon was screened live. 

It proved to be an eventful weekend, too, with new leaders at the top of the table wins for the chasing pack as things get very tight in the top six. 

While at the bottom, it was another matchday to forget for Ebbsfleet as they were hit for six. 

Here, DAZN looks back at the feature games in the National League this weekend.

New National League leaders as Forest Green win top of the table clash 

The headline act of the weekend came from Nailsworth as second-placed Forest Green hosted league leaders York City in an early top-of-the-table meeting - and it was the home side who came out on top. 

York had only suffered one defeat prior to Saturday's encounter, but second-half goals from Harvey Bunker and Kyle McAllister were enough to see Rovers leapfrog their opponents into top spot. 

Steve Cotterill's men now have a slim two-point lead at the top of the National League. 

Sorry Ebbsfleet thrashed as Solihull hit six 

It was a day to forget for the National League's bottom side as they shipped in six second-half goals to 10-man Solihull at the Stonebridge Road Stadium. 

Moors centre-back Jack Clarke was sent off just six minutes into the game for a rash challenge on Kwame Thomas, but the Kent side failed to take advantage. 

They were then reduced to ten men themselves just before halftime, and it led to a second-half capitulation. 

Four goals in 12 minutes saw Solihull go on to win 6-0, with Conor Wilkinson netting a hat-trick amongst the onslaught. 

Formidable names hit four goals in wins 

The top of the table is getting quite congested with just four points separating second to fifth place. 

With York's defeat, both Barnet and Oldham were able to close the gap thanks to wins where both teams notched four goals in victory.

Barnet's came by way of a topsy-turvy game away at Dagenham and Redbridge, where they twice came from behind to win the game 4-3 thanks to a Rhys Browne winner. 

The Lactis had it much more comfortable, thrashing Tamworth 4-0, with striker James Norwood netting a first-half hat-trick.
