Super-sub Vincent Harper scores twice as Eastleigh sink Scunthorpe
Posted Wednesday, November 02, 2022 by PA
Substitute Vincent Harper scored both goals as Eastleigh extended their unbeaten home record to eight matches in a 2-0 win against Scunthorpe.
Harper struck within a minute of stepping off the bench in the second half and added another in the last minute to help lift the Spitfires up to ninth in the table.
After a goalless first half, Eastleigh twice went close to breaking the deadlock just before the hour when Andrew Boyce’s header skimmed the crossbar and Michael Kelly’s effort from a tight angle was saved.
But the home side’s pressure told in the 68th minute. Harper drove forward into space before taking aim and curling a superb effort into the top corner.
Scunthorpe pressed forward in search of an equaliser, but Harper got on the end of a swift counter-attack for his second to seal Eastleigh’s victory and extend the Iron’s winless run on the road this season.
