Ross Hannah helps Chester to much-needed win
Posted Sunday, February 18, 2018 by PA
Ross Hannah struck twice as relegation-battling Chester beat Eastleigh 3-1 to claim a much-needed win.
The second-bottom Blues had picked up just two points from their previous five games, but took the lead against their mid-table opponents when Hannah broke clear to slot past Graham Stack.
The lead lasted barely a minute, however, before the Spitfires drew level through Mark Yeates, who fired home at the second attempt.
Yeates was denied a second goal by a good save by Sam Hornby and Chester made the most of that escape by reclaiming the lead through Hannah’s close-range finish in the 43rd minute.
The experienced striker came within inches of grabbing his hat-trick at the start of the second half but saw his effort crash back off the underside of the crossbar.
With Eastleigh pushing for an equaliser, Chester wrapped up the victory in stoppage time when James Akintunde tapped home following good work by Dominic Vose.
