Tuesday's National League reports

Southend 2-1 Yeovil

Keenan Appiah-Forson headed an 84th-minute winner as Southend boosted their play-off push in the National League with a 2-1 victory over Yeovil at Roots Hall.

Shrimpers captain Gus Scott-Morriss opened the scoring inside four minutes, smashing home on the rebound from a tight angle after Appiah-Forson's header was saved by Glovers goalkeeper Jed Ward.

Yeovil equalised in the 64th minute when Jake Wannell curled a fine first-time finish into the far corner from the right-hand side of the 18-yard box.

Defender James Golding rattled a post from distance as seventh-placed Southend threatened to regain the lead before Appiah-Forson nodded in an assist from substitute Sam Austin to earn the hosts a first win in three league games.

Wealdstone 7-0 Hartlepool

Micah Obiero scored a first-half hat-trick as Wealdstone flipped the form book on its head to secure a resounding 7-0 win over Hartlepool at Grosvenor Vale.

The Stones had lost their last three in the National League while their opponents had won their last three, but Obiero put the out-of-form hosts ahead in the fourth minute from an acute angle.

Dylan Kadji finished from Anthony Georgiou's cross moments later before Obiero struck twice in quick succession, notching a rebound in the 22nd minute then getting his treble by getting in behind, rounding Nick Hayes and slotting into an empty net.

Wealdstone had never beaten Hartlepool in seven previous attempts but they were five up before the break as Georgiou reacted quickest after Hayes could only parry Nathan Tshikuna's initial shot.

Captain Enzio Boldewijn's deflected shot poured more misery on Pools in the 70th minute and Wealdstone were in seventh heaven when substitute Olufela Olomola ricocheted off a defender and past Hayes.

Woking 1-1 Altrincham

Altrincham held on for a 1-1 draw in their mid-table National League clash at Woking, despite finishing the game with nine men.

On-loan Fulham forward Olly Sanderson struck the post for Woking in the seventh minute, under the interim leadership of Craig Ross and Jake Hyde ahead of the arrival of new manager Jermain Defoe.

However, it was the visitors who opened the scoring six minutes later through Tylor Golden's curling finish.

Altrincham had Sam Barnes dismissed soon after and, after Woking's Joe Gbode had found the side netting in the 64th minute, the hosts levelled eight minutes from time through Jamie Andrews.

The visitors were down to nine when Kahrel Reddin was dismissed for a stamp on Matt Ward with a minute remaining but they held on for a point which keeps them six points behind the Cards, who move up a place to 10th.
