MATCH REPORT<br />
FROM LIVERSEDGE<br />
<strong>Celtic</strong> propelled themselves out of the bottom four with<br />
a comprehensive second half performance against fellow<br />
strugglers Liversedge.<br />
The opening five minutes saw a crisp<br />
passing <strong>Celtic</strong> carving out chances with<br />
Nathan Caine latching onto a superb low<br />
cross from Theo Bailey-Jones. It took a<br />
reaction stop from Jordan Porter to deny<br />
him. Ciaran Summers got onto the end of<br />
a confident move, firing inches past the<br />
post. Just before Caine forced a second<br />
save from Porter, Jack Carr rounded<br />
Greg Hall but saw his tight angled shot<br />
cleared off the line by Matty Carson.<br />
Carr had another stab fifteen minutes<br />
in, producing a good stop from Hall, but<br />
there was nothing Hall could do when<br />
Carr’s cross evaded everybody to find<br />
Joseph Walton free and clear to turn<br />
the cross into the back of the net. Game<br />
management from visitors left little in<br />
the way of chances for either side to the<br />
interval.<br />
<strong>Celtic</strong> needed a different game plan for<br />
the second half, and that came from<br />
Matty Carson. A free kick on the edge<br />
of the box gave Carson his chance<br />
and he took it, curling the perfect shot<br />
around the wall into the top corner.<br />
Three minutes later, and he got another<br />
chance. And he did it again!<br />
When Jack Hardacre brought down Raul<br />
Correia in the box, Correia relinquished<br />
the spot kick to Carson to attempt his hat<br />
trick. Carson stepped up and almost took<br />
the back of the net off.<br />
<strong>Celtic</strong> made the game safe when a<br />
terrible pass allowed Raul Correia to go<br />
one-on-one with Porter, rounding him<br />
and the defenders coming back to give<br />
<strong>Celtic</strong> a three gold cushion. And they<br />
needed that in the last twenty minutes,<br />
as a Liversedge threw everything they<br />
had at <strong>Celtic</strong>. Nicolas Walker fired wide,<br />
Alfie Raw’s screamer from forty yards<br />
required a flying save from Hall and<br />
finally Walton put the ball through a<br />
packed defence for Kurt Harris to tap in.<br />
Three goals proved insurmountable for<br />
the visitors, lifting <strong>Celtic</strong> to sixteenth.<br />
