Stevenage 2 : 1 Accrington - Lee inspires Stevenage win

Charlie Lee struck early in the second half to hand Stevenage a 2-1 victory that saw them leapfrog Accrington in League Two.

Both sides arrived at the Lamex Stadium off the back of a defeat and went into the break level after goals from Chris Whelpdale and Lee Molyneux, but Lee settled the tie shortly after the restart.

The hosts were ahead inside the opening minute when Accrington's debutant keeper, Jesse Joronen, made a hash of his punched clearance from a corner, allowing Dean Wells to nod back across goal before Whelpdale tapped in.

Molyneux equalised in the 18th minute, cutting in from the left and firing low across Chris Day's goal into the bottom corner after John O'Sullivan's powerful run.

Lee restored their lead in the 48th minute with a rising drive into the top corner from Chris Beardsley's perfect lay-off.

Lee went close to grabbing another with a header in the 59th minute and substitute Cameron Lancaster fired over with his first touch but Stevenage could not increase their lead.
