Shots improve survival prospects with another home victory

Aldershot recorded back-to-back wins in their battle to avoid relegation from the National League after beating Solihull 3-1 at the EBB Stadium.

Buoyed by their stoppage-time winner against Hartlepool on Saturday, the Shots raced into a 2-0 lead inside 16 minutes.

Cameron Hargreaves scored for the third successive game as he produced a fine finish in only the second minute before Aaron Jones volleyed in from a Ryan Jones cross.

Jones then got on the scoresheet himself eight minutes before half-time when he slotted home after running on to Luca Woodhouse’s ball over the top.

Substitute Fletcher Holman pulled a goal back for Solihull, who ended the game with 10 men after Conor Wilkinson was sent off, as they suffered an eighth loss in a nine-game winless run.
