Solihull Moors 0-1 Stockport County

Paddy Madden's winner for Stockport at Solihull took his season's tally to 10 goals - half of which have come away from home

Paddy Madden's second-half header was enough to hand Stockport County all three points with a key win over National League promotion rivals Solihull Moors.

In an evenly-contested opening half, the away side thought they had taken the lead just before half-time when Ollie Crankshaw's header at the far post was ruled out by the offside flag.

The second half started in a lively manner and the visitors came within inches of breaking the deadlock straight after half-time when Crankshaw squared the ball for Scott Quigley, who was denied on the goal line by James Clarke.

Solihull also came close on the hour mark when Jamey Osborne let fly from distance and saw his effort ping off the crossbar.

But Stockport claimed their deserved opener with 17 minutes to go. Will Collar found Madden at the back post before he sent a looping header into the net to earn victory for the second successive league game to leapfrog Solihull into sixth.
