York see off struggling Sutton to go top of National League

York see off struggling Sutton to go top of National League

York moved top of the National League table after coming from a goal down to win 2-1 at struggling Sutton.

The hosts took a surprise eighth-minute lead when Lewis Simper’s corner was flicked on by Hayden Muller and finished by Will Tizzard, but they were pegged back before the half hour from a York setpiece.

After Sutton only managed to half clear a corner in the 25th minute, Hiram Boateng drilled a low shot beyond goalkeeper Jack Sims.

Ollie Pearce then had the final say three minutes into the second half, firing in at the back post from Daniel Batty’s teasing delivery, as York leapfrogged Carlisle to top spot on goal difference, with both teams on 55 points.
