Morale-boosting win for Latics at Woking

Latics were 3-1 victors at Woking

Latics ended a six-game winless run in the National League by beating Woking 3-1.

The visitors - who had drawn five of those games - took a 12th-minute lead as Mark Kitching and Mike Fondop set up Josh Lundstram’s header.

Latics doubled their lead when Woking defender Tunji Akinola headed Reagan Ogle’s long throw into his own net after 49 minutes.

Charley Kendall smashed home from 30 yards to give Woking hope after 76 minutes, but Fondop restored Oldham’s two-goal cushion within 60 seconds.

Latics boss Micky Mellon said: "I think we've played better and not won, but we did enough to win the game and created enough chances to win any game really.

"But it was a much-needed win, and I think maybe sometimes - I've been a player myself and you know you just need to get over the line and get that victory."

Latics host Yeovil Town in their next figure on Saturday.
