Jamille Matt made his first league start of the season and set-up Daniel Kanu's opener just before half-time. 

Priestley Farquharson put the seal on the win with a second goal in the 87th-minute on his first league start in over 15 months. 

Pressley was forced to sit out the trip to North Yorkshire, after picking up the injury in training on Thursday. 

Sadler confirmed that the Scotsman will have a scan on Monday but does expect him to be poised for a spell on the side lines.

"Aaron will be out for a spell. He did his hamstring in training on Thursday so he'll be missing for a bit," boss Sadler said.

"In terms of timelines, I don't know. He has got a scan on Monday so by Thursday I should know what it looks like."
