Matty Warburton double earns first win of season for Solihull

Matty Warburton double earns first win of season for Solihull

Matty Warburton struck twice for Solihull as they secured their first National League win of the season, 2-1 at newly-promoted Ebbsfleet.

Warburton struck in either half to put Solihull in control and after Ebbsflett’s Greg Cundle had pulled one back, the home side went close to a late equaliser through Shaq Coulthirst’s effort which hit the crossbar.

Solihull went close in the first half when Joe Newton fired a shot against a post before Warburton headed home Jay Benn’s 39th-minute cross.

Visiting goalkeeper Tommy Simkin made a brilliant save to keep out Omari Sterling-James before Warburton struck his second after pouncing on a rebound.

Cundle set up a grandstand finish when he cut in from the right and rifled home a superb low finish but Solihull held on as Coulthirst’s effort from substitute Nathan Odokonyero’s cross was unable to find the target.
