Ashley Nadesan has scored three goals in four appearances for Gillingham following his move from Crawley Town this summer
Gillingham maintained their 100 percent start to the League Two season and went top of the table with a hard-fought win at Sutton United.
Ashley Nadesan scored the only goal of the game with a superbly taken 10th-minute finish at the VBS Community Stadium.
Tom Nichols robbed U's defender Omar Sowunmi and provided a low cross for Nadesan to strike first time.
Sowunmi came close to atoning for his early error when his hooked shot was cleared off the line by Scott Malone.
Gills keeper Jake Turner smothered Lee Angol's effort, whilst George Lapslie fired wide on the angle.
Sutton substitute Scott Kashket was denied a goal against his former club by the linesman's flag early in the second half.
Later in the second period, the former Wycombe man saw a fine volley kept out by Turner as Sutton piled on the pressure for an equaliser.
But Gillingham saw out a third successive 1-0 win in the league, and the Kent club are the only side in the division to have won their first three games.
