Despite falling behind to Brandon Thomas-Asante’s clinical finish, Ian Evatt’s men responded quickly through Elias Kachunga’s headed equaliser after latching onto Kieran Lee’s cross. Jón Daði Böðvarsson then capped a 31-pass move to put <strong>Wanderers</strong> in front before the break and Kieran Sadlier’s deflected effort from 25 yards gave the Whites a two-goal cushion. Conor Bradley scored a wonder goal before fellow substitute Dapo Afolayan added a fifth late on to confirm an impressive final scoreline to match the performance, taking the goal tally to 8 goals in two home matches this season. 6 | The Wanderer 01204 328 888
