Nathan Broadhead netted twice, the second a penalty, as Town came from a goal down at half-time to beat Port Vale 2-1 at Portman Road to stay second in the League One table. Mal Benning’s goal against the run of play moments before half-time gave the visitors the lead but Broadhead netted eight minutes after half-time and from the spot on 84 to claim a crucial three points.
Freddie Sears returns to the Town starting XI in place of Oli Hawkins in an otherwise unchanged side for this afternoon’s home game against Accrington Stanley.
Second-half goals from Gwion Edwards and Freddie Sears saw top-of-the-table Town to a 2-0 victory over Accrington Stanley at Portman Road. The Blues, who started without an out-and-out central striker, were disappointing in the first half but improved after the break with Edwards opening the scoring in the 54th minute and Sears sealing a third successive 2-0 League One home win on 71.
