It was Mullets' first game for six weeks and Tipper headed home Russell Hardwell's corner, moments after Selsey's keeper had tipped a Josh Biggs shot over the bar.

Arundel had been reduced to 10 men on 51 minutes when Rob Grove was sent off for a second bookable offence – which Mullets felt was a harsh decision.

Greg Robinson had given Selsey the lead on 41 minutes with a fierce drive into the top corner from a tight angle.

Mullets assistant boss Simon Butler said: "We were a little bit rusty but we played really well in the second half, after we struggled to keep hold of the ball in the first when we were our own worst enemy."

ARUNDEL: O'Connor; R.Biggs, D.Walker, Pickford, Sneller; Hardwell, Grove, Neighbour, J.Biggs; Martin, Tipper. Subs: Tewsley (Martin 65), L.Walker (Sneller 75), Harewood, Griffiths.
