Eckington 5 - 3 Elton
Match Report
Elton suffered their second successive league defeat after a poor showing at Eckington. Anthony Porter had a chance to open the scoring from the spot after being upended in the box, but his penalty went straight into the keepers hands. Dan Butterworth did put the visitors ahead after latching on to Sam Lightfoot’s through ball to round the keeper and finish into the empty net. That was all Elton had to show in the first half as they crumbled to a 3-1 deficit at half-time, the first a strike into the top corner, the second a sweeping low shot through everybody in the box and the third a tap in after an Andrew Rhodes error from a corner. It was 4-1 soon into the second period, Matt Rhodes made a mess of his free-kick and the ball was tapped into the empty net by the striker. With Elton pushing for some way back into the game, Eckington finished the game off with a powerful low striker into the corner. Andrew Rhodes pushed for a way to goal and was brought down in the area to give Elton their second penalty of the game. James Wood stepped up and sent the keeper the wrong way for his first ever Elton goal. The visitors got a third thanks to Andrew Rhodes, who beat the offside trap and beat the keeper with ease. Elton had golden chances to level up at the death, but Porter and Andrew Rhodes found the Eckington keeper in good form, producing some good saves to give his side victory.
