Dale Stephens evened things up before the hour mark with a smart finish from close range.
The South coast side then took the lead when Chike Kandi exchanged passes with Stephen Ward before slotting home on 66 minutes.

Gillingham had the ball in the net inside the final five minutes, but the effort was ruled out for a push.
