Three and easy

FA CUP SECOND ROUND WOKING ............................ 0 STANLEY........................... 3 SHELDAN KEAY

ACCRINGTON Stanley moved into the third round of the FA Cup after an impressive victory over non-league Woking on Saturday.

Two goals from Billy Kee along with a header from John O’Sullivan was enough to earn the Reds the win over the National League side.

Things were made difficult for Woking in the first half when they had midfielder Charlie Carter sent off for a dangerous foul on Accrington captain neely.

Stanley will now host Luton Town at the Wham Stadium in the next round of the competition in early January.

It was a fast start to the match at Kingfield, with Woking causing plenty of problems for Accrington in the opening stages. Seamus Con-

Dennon Lewis got on the end of a pass from Chigozie Ugwu after just three minutes, but the forward dragged his shot wide when he should have done better.

After surviving the early storm from the hosts, Accrington began to dictate play as the half went on and they went close when Paddy Lacey’s 20 yard free kick was narrowly off target.

Woking were still dangerous at the other end though, with Matty Pearson needed to make a last ditch tackle to deny Ugwu.

Woking goalkeeper Brandon Hall was called into action on 25 minutes when he kept out Jordan Clark’s shot, but there was nothing he could do a few moments later when the Reds finally took the lead.

Pearson’s cross into the box wasn’t cleared by the opposition defence, allowing Kee to slot the ball home and make it 1-0 to Accrington.

Things went from bad to worse for the National League side as just one minute later they were reduced to 10 men.

Carter’s high challenge on Conneely was worthy enough of a red card according to the referee, meaning that Carter was shown his marching orders.

Stanley nearly took advantage of the extra man straight away when O’Sullivan tried his luck, but it was Kee who doubled the lead when he got his second of the afternoon on 42 minutes.

Pearson was provider once again, sending a low cross into the box to Kee, who fired home to make it 2-0 at the interval.

Kee nearly got his hattrick shortly after the restart when he turned and shot in the box, but goalkeeper Hall was able to keep the effort out with his legs.

It seemed that a third goal was an inevitably though as Accrington continued to pile on the pressure, and their hard work was rewarded when they found the net again on 61 minutes.

Jordan Clark did well on the left hand side before sending a cross into the box, with O’Sullivan on hand to head home and put any hopes of a Woking comeback to bed.

Scott Brown nearly added a fourth for the visitors when his long range strike flew wide, while Rommy Boco also threatened.

Sub Terry Gornell then went close in the final minute, but in the end Stanley had to settle for the comfortable 3-0 win.

“Woking started really well and for a game like this teams will always raise their game. But it’s nothing new to us coming
