Jay Bird got the other goal as struggling Solihull were seen off on Saturday.

Boreham Wood stretched their lead at the top of the Vanarama National League to six points with a comfortable 3-0 win at struggling Solihull Moors.

Ben Whitfield opened the scoring with a clinical finish in the 43rd minute, firing a low shot in at the near post after being flicked through by Zak Brunt.

Whitfield completed his double two minutes into the second half but was denied a chance of a hat-trick – and a fifth goal in three games – when his 67th minute penalty was saved by the trailing leg of goalkeeper Max Metcalfe.

On-loan Salford striker Bird completed the scoring in the 76th minute, calmly finishing into the far corner of Metcalfe’s net.
