Melton Town record their first away win of the season

Melton had the first opportunity in the third minute when Calver stole the ball off Watt and sent Yaegan Gore clear on goal, only for his shot to go high over the bar.

Then in the 23rd minute a quick ball from Eastwood beat the Melton offside trap and from the sideline the ball was played into the area for Abdul Saad to slot home.

However, some confusion between the officials that took over two minutes to rectify saw the goal ruled offside.

Melton went straight up the other end and a free kick on the edge of the area found Munkandafa, who dummied his marker before playing the ball back to Ryan Calver, whose shot went inches over the bar.

The hosts broke the deadlock on the half hour when a quick break saw Hodgkinson race clear and lob the ball into the area where a mad scramble eventually saw the cleared away for a corner.

The resulting corner was played low into the box and deflected off Wakley for an unfortunate own goal.

It should have 2-0 three minutes later when a long ball over the top saw Bartley lose an aerial battle and Hodgkinson go clear on goal only for his effort to be cleared away to safety.

But in first half injury time Melton were level.

Hurst beat Morris-Wright for pace and sent in a cross which King touched into the net from two yards out.

Melton dominated the second half and Yaegan Gore had an effort which went just over the bar and Wakley, although off-balance, still got a shot in that shaved the post.

Then came a moment of magic from Calver, who vollied a clearance from 35 yards which smacked the post and nestled into the corner of the net.

Melton put the game to bed in the 82nd minute when a quick counter attack saw Williams outpace Flynn before picking out Kalis Gore at the far post, who guided the ball past Wilson.

Melton upped their game after going one down and certainly in the second half dominated with a good all round performance.

They are back at home on Saturday to face joint top of the table Newark Town.
