Northwich Victoria 0-5 Farsley Celtic
Lewis Nightingale scored a hat-trick for Farsley Celtic in the 5-0 win at Northwich Victoria
Red hot midfielder Lewis Nightingale hit a hat-trick as unstoppable Farsley Celtic put a sledgehammer through title contenders Northwich Victoria to record their 12th straight win.
Farsley are now two points away from breaking into the play-offs zone.
The seeds of victory were sown in the second half after a goal-less opening 45 minutes. Farsley hit the front foot straight after the interval as full-back Aaron Hardy crossed for Chris Howarth to head home at the back-post.
Hat-trick hero Nightingale got his first of the afternoon after reacting the quickest from Jordan Deacey’s saved effort. Moments later, he broke into the penalty area to score.
Nightingale had a key role in the fourth as his mazy run enabled a final pass for Lewis Sugden to score from.
Nightingale sealed his treble in the dying minutes from the penalty spot.
Farsley Celtic: Taylor, Hardy (c), Serrant, Howarth (Grant), Miller, Clayton, Nightingale, Daly, Walker (Sugden), Savory (Osborne), Deacey.
