Match ends, Alfreton Town 2, Dover Athletic 3.
Dover secured their first away win since September, with Nicky Deverdics scoring twice to help defeat Alfreton.
Alfreton opened the scoring direct from a corner through Tom Shaw but Deverdics levelled with an effort high into the net from a Sean Francis pass.
Deverdics rifled a 30-yard free-kick into the top corner before Stefan Payne converted Tom Murphy's cross for 3-1.
Shaw steered home his second in added time, shortly after Dover's Tyrone Sterling saw red for a second yellow.
Alfreton Town manager Nicky Law told BBC Radio Derby:
"We came in at half-time and the game should have been over. It should've been 3-1 to us. You can't miss chances like that and we did.
"We spoke about what we need to do in the second half, made them aware of where they may capitalise on us. And yet we've gone out in the second half and conceded two goals from exactly what we spoke about.
"You aren't going to win games of football at any level conceding goals like that and we've completely self-inflicted today."
