Luke McCormick at the double as in-form Fylde beat Eastleigh
Fylde posted a sixth win in seven matches in all competitions.
Luke McCormick struck a brace to help Fylde claim a 2-1 win at Eastleigh in the National League.
McCormick opened the scoring at the end of the first half before Aaron Blair levelled for Eastleigh straight after half-time, but a second for Yeovil loanee McCormick fired Craig Mahon’s men to a third successive league victory.
After a cagey opening, the clash burst into life with chances at both ends before McCormick broke the deadlock in the 44th minute when he fired home after good work by Jack Morris.
Eastleigh levelled through Blair three minutes into the second half when he found the bottom corner for his 10th of the campaign.
Fylde would not be denied, though, and made it six wins from their last seven matches in all competitions when McCormick raced away before he rounded Nick Townsend to score what proved the winner after 62 minutes.
