Carlisle United's Terell Thomas enjoyed a successful international outing as he captained Saint Lucia to victory.

The Blues defender played the full game as the Piton Boyz claimed a 2-1 victory over Saint Martin.

Saint Lucia had to come from behind after trailing 1-0 at half-time, with two goals in the last 14 minutes securing victory.

Thomas, who had missed the previous international games as he remained with the Blues, returned to the fold for the start of a CONCACAF Nations League double-header against Saint Martin, with the second game coming on Monday.

The game at the Darren Sammy Cricket Ground in Saint Lucia saw Stern John's Saint Lucia go behind to a 20-yard Axel Raga Rigobert goal after 30 minuets.

Thomas's challenge in the 68th minute prevented Saint Martin from going two behind.

And then John's side staged their comeback as Caniggia Elva equalised on 76 minutes with a header following a move involving the United man.

After Saint Martin failed to take late chances, Elva then went on to strike a 90th-minute winner as he turned the ball home from close range in front of a 1,849 crowd.

It was a third straight win for Saint Lucia as they top the CONCACAF Nations League B League B Group B table after three games. Should they win the group they will be promoted to League A and compete in the Gold Cup for the first time.

Thomas appeared to get through the game unscathed as he won his 14th cap, in the first of the two games which are seeing him miss Carlisle's trip to AFC Wimbledon this weekend.

The 28-year-old and his team-mates face the same opponents at midnight Monday night UK time.

The United summer signing qualifies for Saint Lucia through his parents. Blues boss Mike Williamson this week told the News & Star that, despite the Carlisle squad being depleted by injuries, he had not considered asking Thomas not to join up with the international squad.
