Fleetwood 2-0 Northampton
Saturday 13 April 2024 18:12, UK
Fleetwood's survival hopes continue to hang by a thread despite a hard-earned 2-0 victory against Northampton.
Charlie Adam's men secured only a second win in 13 games but remain six points shy of the safety zone with just three matches to play.
Fleetwood opened the scoring after only five minutes, with Promise Omochere perfectly placed to tap home Bosun Lawal's cross.
Omochere went close again with a header shortly afterwards, before the Cod Army did double their lead on the half-hour.
This time Lawal provided a tidy finish following a precise, measured pass from Brendan Wiredu.
