Cheek's Double Spot-Kick Sees Bromley Past 10-Man Accrington

· Match Report

Bromley extended their League Two unbeaten run to 16 games with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over 10-man Accrington Stanley that stretched their lead at the top of the table to four points.

Michael Cheek's two penalties proved decisive on an afternoon that swung Bromley's way after Donald Love's early dismissal, with Dave Abimbola's headed equaliser only briefly interrupting the leaders' march to another three points.

Early Warning and a Red Card

Ollie Wright tipped an early Jesse Debrah header against the crossbar to keep Stanley on terms, before the visitors' task became significantly harder when Donald Love received his marching orders after 15 minutes, the defender adjudged to have stamped on Michael Cheek.
