SOLIHULL MOORS collected their second National League win of the season in a dramatic finish at York City.

Jacob Wakeling’s stoppage-time goal helped Solihull turn the form book on its head.

York were sixth before kick-off and eager to claim another win, but they struggled to break down James Quinn’s revitalised side.

Moors ended the day with 10-men, but travelled home with three points after Wakeling’s 95th-minute goal.

Solihull goalkeeper Laurie Walker produced a fine early save to deny Mark Kitching before he thwarted Alex Hunt.

It remained goalless until half-time, but York continued to push after the break and Joe Felix struck the crossbar.

A delay when one of the goal nets needed to be fixed contributed to seven minutes of stoppage time – and it was Solihull who secured the points when Wakeling slotted home after breaking clear of the Minstermen defence.

Dan Creaney was initially shown a red card following the celebrations before it was chalked off due to him not being on a yellow card.

But the already-cautioned Ben Worman did receive his marching orders and yet Solihull held on.

Moors now go to Rochdale on Tuesday, looking to build on a result which leaves them two points clear of the relegation zone after a shaky start to the season.
