Fylde too hot for City

City were second best in as Fylde romped home to a 4-0 at Aggborough.

Two goals in each half sealed the win and City ended up with 10 men after Sean Geddes was sent off for two yellow cards.

Good work from Dion Charles ended up with him passing to Josh Wilson who finished from close range to put Fylde ahead in the fourth minute despite appeals for offside.

The visitors, missing top-scorer Ritchie Allen through illness, scored a second nine minutes before the break. The goal came from City's left with Rowe crossing for Lloyd-McGoldrick to stab home from close range.

Keeper Ryan Boot was kept busy throughout making several saves while Ben Hinchliffe at the other end had very little to do.

In the 70th minute Hinchliffe's long punt down field was missed by Anthony Charles and with Jonathan Lynch slipping Rowe rifled the ball into the roof of the net.

A second yellow card for Sean Geddes three minutes later saw City down to 10 and from the resulting free kick Wilson's deflected effort the wall wrong footed Boot to give Fylde their fourth goal.

City ended the game with three Academy Players on the Pitch; Dean Waldron, Jamie Smith and Joao De Sousa
