STUNNER BY NINO HELPS UNITED OFF THE BOTTOM

Wins on bounce delight Morison

- Jack Cryer

SUTTON United lifted themselves off the bottom of the table to the delight of manager Steve Morison.

Goals from Harry Smith, Omar Sowunmi and Nino Adom-Malaki did the damage as the Yellows claimed back-to back league wins for the first time this season and their first home league success for nearly five months.

Jake Bickerstaff bagged an 85th-minute consolation for Stanley, but the hosts deserved their first home for win since November 4.

“It was a really good afternoon for us,” said Morison.

“Arnie [goalkeeper Steve Arnold] made a couple of big saves for us early doors that kept us in the game, but after that it was really good.

“We scored a really good goal, but we didn’t back it up again and score soon after which is frustrating because we had some really good chances in the first half.

“But then in the second half it was just a case of keep plugging away and hopefully we get another one. And thankfully we did.

“For the football club all round I think it was excellent. It was a big day and with it being international break there were a few more people here watching us.

“I was really pleased with today – it was relief when that second goal went in.
