Louie Barry double leads Stockport to thumping win
Posted Wednesday, October 30, 2024 by PA
Louie Barry took his season’s goal tally into double figures as Stockport returned to winning ways in Sky Bet League One with a 4-1 victory over Reading at Edgeley Park.
Barry converted a first-half penalty and bagged his 10th of the campaign after 68 minutes to end the Royals’ bid for a fourth successive win.
Will Collar had not scored since November 2023 but, aided by a deflection and Tyler Onyango’s rampaging run, he set the Hatters on the way to only a second league win in 10 games after 18 minutes.
Reading have not won at Edgeley Park since 1971 and lost 5-1 when the teams last met in 1998.
But Wolves loanee Chem Campbell’s 30th-minute strike from Harvey Knibbs’ cross boosted their hopes of improving that dismal record.
Instead, Kyle Wootton headed in skipper Lewis Bate’s free-kick for his fifth goal of the season three minutes later.
And Barry’s 42nd-minute spot-kick, awarded for Andre Garcia’s foul on Jack Diamond, gave County a two-goal cushion.
Fittingly, Barry rounded off an impressive County win to end Reading’s brief stay in the play-off places.
