SOLIHULL made it three wins in four with victory at struggling Gateshead – thanks to late goals from Bradley Stevenson and Jacob Wakeling.

It was also back to back victories for Chris Millington’s Moors who are now six points off the play off places.

Frank Nouble fired wide early on for Gateshead and Solihull goalkeeper Laurie Walker was forced to make an excellent save to deny Fenton John.

Kian Pennant was thwarted by Walker on the hour mark before Oliver Tipton fired over for Solihull.

Stevenson had a header tipped over as Moors continued to threaten – and it was the midfielder who made the breakthrough 15 minutes from time.

Moors substitute Wakeling made sure of the points with his seventh goal of the season in the 89th minute.

Moors celebrate their victory at Gateshead on Saturday

Gateshead, who stunned League One side AFC Wimbledon in the FA Cup last weekend before being thrashed at York in midweek, are now five National League matches without a win.

But Moors are now 12th after recent wins over Truro, Hartlepool and Braintree.
