Torquay United celebrate first away win of the season

Torquay captain Matt Worthington's goal proved enough for victory

Torquay United got their first away victory of the season as they won 1-0 at Salisbury in National League South.

Matt Worthington converted Jay Foulston's eighth-minute cross to score what proved to be the decisive goal.

Jordan Yong could have doubled the lead but his 31st-minute penalty was saved while Worthington also had a chance to add to Torquay's tally soon after.

Matt Briggs had a good chance to level the scores with 20 minutes left but was thwarted by James Hamon as Torquay consolidated third place in the table.

"I thought we should have been out of sight at half time, there's the penalty miss and Worthy misses a great chance," Torquay manager Paul Wotton told BBC Radio Devon.

"The wind is so strong and second half we negated them to one chance - the boy should probably score, I'm not going to sit here and hide that - but Hammy makes a really good save at a critical time.

"Other than that I thought we were pretty comfortable - we kept our line up and their long balls were just flying through.

"So I'm really pleased for the boys - it's just about staying really constant, really level.

"We're 10 games in to a 46-game season, it's so early, we're just a fifth of the way through and we're averaging two points a game, so we're doing alright."
