Hartlepool United 2-1 Gateshead

Mani Dieseruvwe struck twice on his debut, including a last-minute winner, as 10-man Hartlepool beat Gateshead.

Dieseruvwe, signed from FC Halifax in July, gave Pools an ideal start with an early opener and then popped up with a last-gasp winner after Robbie Tinkler had levelled for Gateshead in the second half.

Pools played most of the second half with 10 men after striker Josh Umerah was shown a straight red card for a challenge on Tinkler.

Charlie Seaman provided the assist for Dieseruvwe to give Hartlepool a 10th-minute lead, and goalkeeper Joel Dixon ensured they went in 1-0 up at the break with a fine save to deny Ed Francis.

Umerah saw red for a rash tackle and, although Tinkler hauled the visitors level in the 66th minute, Dieseruvwe notched his second from close range in the dying moments.
