Wealdstone fight back to beat 10-man Scunthorpe

Two goals in the space of six second-half minutes from Micah Obiero and Olufela Olomola saw Wealdstone claim a 3-1 win over 10-man Scunthorpe in the Vanarama National League.

The Iron took a 20th-minute lead through Caolan Lavery at Grosvenor Vale but the hosts quickly levelled with a Max Kretzschmar penalty.
