Wycombe Wanderers 1-0 Accrington Stanley

  • Published

Wycombe kept out strugglers Accrington to pick up League One victory at Adams Park, thanks to Jason McCarthy's first-half goal.

They were grateful to goalkeeper Max Stryjek, who was kept busy throughout as Stanley had over a dozen second-half shots.

The Chairboys broke the deadlock after Josh Scowen's ball split the Accrington defence, with McCarthy advancing on goal and slotting home for his first of the season.

Shaun Whalley was lively throughout, with Stryjek saving smartly from the Accrington man either side of half-time.

The visitors raised the pressure in the second half, with Wanderers defender Jack Grimmer making a telling challenge on substitute Matt Lowe.

Wycombe might have scored a second through Lewis Wing, who shot straight at the keeper, and Anis Mehmeti, but were made to work late on.

Mitch Clark's skidding effort from distance had Stryjek scrambling late on and, despite seven minutes of stoppage time, Wycombe held on to secure their first home win since the opening day.
