York City 1-0 Torquay United

Alex Hurst's second-half winner helped York beat rock-bottom Torquay and extend their winless league run to six matches.

Hurst picked up the ball on halfway and ran clear before firing under Gulls keeper Mark Halstead with 19 minutes left.

The goal allowed City to make amends for their disappointing midweek defeat to Halifax.

Prior to Hurst's strike, Lenell John-Lewis had gone close for York and Maziar Kouhyar also hit the bar.

At the other end, a number of smart stops from Ethan Ross denied the visitors, most notably Aaron Jarvis and Chinwike Okoli.
