Solihull net three in second half to win at Braintree

Solihull Moors scored three second-half goals to defeat Braintree and keep the pressure on the teams above them at the top of the National League.

With the sides at opposite ends of the table, it was perhaps surprising that Solihull did not make the breakthrough sooner, but once it came they quickly took the game away from their opponents.

It took less than a minute after the restart for the visitors to move ahead, Danny Wright netting, and seven minutes later they doubled their lead from the penalty spot.

Jamey Osborne was brought down and Adi Yussuf made no mistake. There was no respite for Braintree and Matty Stenson grabbed his first goal for Solihull five minutes later to wrap up the points.
