Resurgent Latics bag fourth straight win

Date published: 20 April 2023


Mike Fondop notched twice as Latics triumphed 3-0 at already relegated Yeovil.

Latics, who moved up to 10th place in the National League table, claimed a fourth straight victory in some style.

The visitors took the lead after just eight minutes when Devarn Green finished from close range at the back post following a cross from the left.

Latics almost increased their lead in stunning fashion just after half-time when Mark Shelton's audacious effort from the halfway line struck the crossbar after he had spotted Yeovil goalkeeper Grant Smith off his line.

A second goal did arrive in the 73rd minute when Bassala Sambou ran down the right before cutting inside to tee up Fondop to finish into the bottom corner.

And he scored his second goal of the game two minutes from time by firing into the top corner.

Latics boss David Unsworth said: "Everybody was great today, another clean sheet.

"I was delighted for the back four, Magnus (Norman), and the two midfielders were everywhere."

Latics bring the curtain down on their 2022/23 campaign with a home game against Bromley on Saturday (5.30pm kick-off).
