Frank Nouble winner sees Colchester extend unbeaten run to four
Posted Sunday, September 01, 2019 by PA
Colchester extended their unbeaten run to four matches with a gutsy 1-0 sky Bet League Two win at Oldham.
Frank Nouble’s predatory strike proved the difference on a day when both sides struck the woodwork.
Oldham almost struck in the sixth minute when Mohammed Maouche met Chris Eagles’ pull-back, only to side-foot a shot against the outside of a post.
Striker Scott Wilson was then thwarted by a brave stop from U’s ‘keeper Dean Gerken.
Just before the break Oldham goalkeeper Gary Woods raced out of his box to thwart Courtney Senior, with Luke Norris then clipping the rebound just over the top from around 35 yards.
Seconds later Nouble made no mistake, slotting easily past Woods as he charged on to Norris’s through-ball.
Soon after the restart Ben Stevenson almost made it 2-0 when he curled inches wide.
Oldham responded with sub Desire Segbe-Azankpo seeing a shot superbly saved by Gerken.
Colchester sub Theo Robinson then curled an angled shot against the crossbar, while Gerken also had to save expertly from Dylan Fage.
