Early Reid strike sinks Maidenhead

Latics beat Maidenhead 1-0

Alex Reid's early goal handed Latics a 1-0 victory against Maidenhead.

David Unsworth's side climbed two places in the National League table after the hard-earned win at Boundary Park.

Reid fired Latics into an early lead after just three minutes when he drilled the ball into the top corner.

The Magpies struggled to make an impact in search of an equaliser and could have fallen further behind in the second half when John Rooney went close with a free-kick.

It was a second consecutive victory for Latics, while Maidenhead have now gone five league games without a win.

Boss Unsworth said: "It should have been more, if we're being critical it should have been more.

"But it's a win and three points.

"Back to back wins and clean sheets - we take all the positives that that brings and you move on."

Latics now have just three league matches to play this term.

They host Southend United on Tuesday night.
