Ten-man Worksop suffer first home defeat at hands of Hereford

It made it back-to-back 3-0 league defeats for the Tigers, who also ended the game with 10 men after Aleks Starcenko was sent off late in the piece.

The first chance of the game was an early Billy Phillips effort for Hereford which was held comfortably by Max Dearnley in Worksop goal.

The Tigers first chance fell to Vaughan Redford, with a half-volley from a defelcted Oliver Greaves cross that brought a good save from HEreford keeper Theo Richardson.

Chances for the Bulls came quickly as they grew into the game through their captain Kamran Kandola who fired wide of the post from outside the box.

Phillips then tried again, cutting inside from the left and firing into the arms of Dearnley.

Hereford looked sharp through on-loan winger Edoziem who created a chance for Harry Tustin who headed narrowly wide of the post.

The Bulls finally got their goal through Edoziem with a tap-in after some sharp play from Tustin, to give Hereford the half-time lead.

The second half saw more urgency from the Tigers as Lewis Whitham drove at defenders, creating a chance for Samuel Essien,who saw his shot tipped over by Richardson.

Chances in the second half were limited with the next one coming for Starcenko with 15 minutes to go as he tested Richardson at his near post, the keeper parrying the ball behind for a corner.

However, the game took a decisive turn against Worksop on 82 minutes when Starcenko saw red after picking up a second yellow card for dissent.

Within five minutes, Hereford doubled their lead through Luke Spokes, who slotted home after finding himself one-on-one with the keeper.

Substitute Daniel Waldron then got a third for Hereford in added time to give the Bulls all three points.

Up next for the Tigers is a bank holiday double header, starting with a trip to Spalding United on Saturday before facing Oxford City at home on Monday.
