LIVE updates from our man at The Autotech Stadium, Jonny Bonell, where Worcester City are in Vanarama Conference North action against Solihull Moors.
The live update has now finished.
– What an incredible second 45 from the visitors. Solihull had led at the break thanks to Ryan Beswick’s goal but Moors goalkeeper Tony Breeden had a second half to forget when he first deflected Sean Geddes’ free-kick into his own net before he spilled the sam man’s set piece in with nine minutes left. Another moment of madness saw the keeper miss his clearance and substitute Micah Evans tapped home in injury time before Daniel Nti rounded off with number four. Thanks for following today.
FULL TIME: SOLIHULL MOORS 1-4 WORCESTER CITY
More on goals: Breeden had another moment of absolute madness for Evans as he completely fluffed his clearance and the substitute taps home into an empty net before a swift counter results in Nti slotting the ball under the keeper for four. Incredible second half from City.
