Cambridge extend unbeaten league run to 11 games with victory at Fleetwood

Cambridge maintained their Sky Bet League Two promotion pursuit with a 2-1 win as Fleetwood’s search for a first win of 2026 went on.

Sullay Kaikai’s stunning first-half strike was cancelled out by Ethan Ennis’ penalty after the break before James Gibbons secured the points at Highbury as the U’s made it 11 league games without defeat.

Louis Appere headed the first real chance of the game over the crossbar for the visitors.

Kaikai broke the deadlock on the half-hour mark with a fantastic free-kick after James Brophy was tripped on the edge of the box.

The Sierra Leone playmaker almost turned provider when he teed up Appere, who could only fire wide.

On the hour, Cod Army striker Ched Evans saw his dipping volley go over the bar.

Jay Lynch denied Kaikai a second when he rushed off his line to deny the 30-year-old.

Evans earned the hosts a spot-kick 15 minutes from time and Ennis made no mistake as he sent Jake Eastwood the wrong way to equalise.

Gibbons wrapped up victory with eight minutes to go with a powerful first-time finish through a crowd of bodies.
