Accrington Stanley moved eight points clear of the League Two relegation zone after easing to a 2-0 win at troubled Harrogate. A goal in each half from Paddy Madden and Benn Ward saw the visitors extend their unbeaten league run to a sixth game.
Second-bottom Harrogate, by contrast, have now taken just two points from a possible 27 during their longest-ever run of nine EFL games without a win. After the visitors netted first they never looked like surrendering the initiative against a shot-shy Sulphurites side that mustered just one on-target attempt all evening.
Chances Traded Before The Breakthrough
The opening exchanges offered openings at both ends. Home striker Tom Cursons blazed a chance out of the ground for Harrogate, while Shaun Whalley curled wide from the edge of the box for Accrington.
