    Highlights of the Sky Bet League One match between Morecambe and Accrington.

    Bottom club Morecambe earned a vital three points as they beat local rivals Accrington 2-0 at home.

    Strikes from Celtic loanee Liam Shaw on 34 minutes and Jensen Weir nine minutes later saw the Shrimps clinch only a third win of the season.

    Accrington started the brighter and Ryan Astley was denied a 13th-minute opener with a header that beat Connor Ripley only to see Cole Stockton be in the perfect place to clear off the line.

    But the Shrimps scored the all-important first goal when Shaw produced a cool finish from Stockton's excellent through ball and Weir doubled the advantage with a well-timed strike from Ryan Cooney's lay-off.
