Wilkinson swaps scoring for saving as Yeovil win at Solihull
Posted Sunday, September 22, 2019 by PA
Luke Wilkinson scored the winner and finished the game in goal as Yeovil claimed their fifth consecutive National League victory with a 1-0 win at Solihull Moors.
Defender Wilkinson struck in the 57th minute before producing a fine save at the death after deputising between the sticks for the injured Liam O’Brien.
Adi Yussuf, back in a Solihull shirt after returning to the club on loan from Blackpool, tested O’Brien early on.
Ryan Boot saved Gold Omotayo’s acrobatic effort before Yeovil went ahead when Wilkinson fired in the rebound after a shot was blocked.
O’Brien made a fine double save to deny Jamey Osborne and Danny Wright, but then limped off in seven minutes of added time.
Yeovil had already made three changes, meaning Wilkinson took on the gloves, and the defender pushed Wright’s header onto the post in a dramatic finale.
