Grimsby's impressive away record continued with victory at 10-man Stockport.

The Hatters, who were unbeaten in five league games at Edgeley Park, dominated the early stages but fell behind to a quick double.

After Ryan Johnson's error was pounced upon, a parried Otis Khan effort fell fortuitously into the path of Harry Clifton for a tap-in on 24 minutes.

The hosts failed to recognise the warning signs and were two down inside the half-hour mark when Gavan Holohan rifled home from point-blank range.

Poacher Paddy Madden then handed Dave Challinor's side a lifeline before the interval when he scored for a third successive game on the rebound.

A rejuvenated Stockport outfit thought they had a leveller after the restart, but Myles Hippolyte's fierce effort was saved heroically by goalkeeper Max Crocombe.

Any chance of a comeback then faded when Callum Camps compounded a frustrating afternoon with a straight red card for a rash challenge with 18 minutes left.

And deep into stoppage-time, substitute Alex Hunt added a third as Grimsby eased to a sixth successive away game without defeat.
