Williams struck on the stroke of the hour to break the deadlock and reward the Glovers’ long trip to Essex with a first league win of the season.

As for Braintree, they have started their first season back in the topflight with successive defeats with Angelo Harrop’s men yet to find the net.

“It’s my job to gel this team as quickly as possible,” Harrop said. “I’m not frightened by the challenge. I’m a manager who wants to keep pushing this football club.”

A left-footed strike from Braintree’s deep-lying playmaker Matt Robinson’s from the edge of the area was the first real tester of the match — forcing a block from the Yeovil defenders.

Robinson would have another shot blocked. This time, via a loose ball from a corner.
