Second half goal is the difference

Second half goal is the difference

Paul Mullins18 Feb 2020 - 22:27

Mark Swann's first game as manager was decided midway through the second half.

For large parts of the first half, you would not have known that these two sides were so far apart in the league.

Chasetown looked to impress new manager Mark Swann and an early Will Whieldon effort saw Danny Roberts have to scurry back to make a save.

Curtis Pond and the Chasetown back line were the busier defence as the half progressed but Chasetown were giving as goodf as they got and had appeals for a penalty for a foul on George Cater turned down.

Gradually, the visitors showed why they were league leaders and Pond was called into action on more than one occasion.

Eventually, an error let in Robert Stevenson, who fired home what proved to be the match winning goal.

It wasn't without a fight from Chasetown though and skipper Ryan Wynter saw a thunderous header palmed over some how by Roberts. Then, from the resultant corner, goalkeeper Pond, who had come up for the set piece, headed goalwards but Roberts stretched up to catch the ball right under his crossbar.
