Hartlepool United 1-3 Wycombe Wanderers

Alfie Mawson scored his first goal for Wycombe with a header to make it 3-0

League Two leaders Wycombe remained at the summit with a comfortable victory against bottom-of-the-table Hartlepool.

Pools' Neil Austin missed a first-half penalty following Joe Jacobsen's foul on Marlon Harewood, after Paris Cowan-Hall had put Wycombe in front.

Matt Bloomfield drilled a low shot on 76 minutes to double the lead and a header from defender Alfie Mawson made it 3-0 to the Chairboys.

Harewood headed in a consolation for the Pools with seven minutes left.

The win is Wycombe's seventh away victory of the season, one more than they managed in the whole of last season.

Wycombe manager Gareth Ainsworth told BBC Three Counties Radio:

"It was a really tough game. I warned the boys what was coming.

"We had to dig deep and take the onslaught before we came into the game.

"They missed a penalty but I still think we would have gone on to play like we did if that had gone in.

"Second half, we were just the better team by far, we attacked well and some of the moves we put together were awesome."
