Junior Eccleston and Brandon Njoku struck first-half goals as Sutton won 2-0 at home to Halifax to climb out of the National League relegation zone.

Teenage defender Eccleston turned home a cross at the back post for his first goal for the club to give Sutton a 22nd-minute lead.
The home side doubled their advantage nine minutes before half-time when Kai Jennings picked out Njoku in the box and the latter took one touch before volleying into the bottom corner.
