Joe Pritchard scored Oldham's third goal to seal a resounding play-off victory

Two goals in three second-half minutes helped Oldham to victory at York and booked them a place in the National League promotion final.

City finished second in the table with 96 points - 23 points ahead of fifth-placed Oldham - to give them home advantage, but the Latics proved too strong in a one-sided play-off semi-final at LNER Community Stadium.

They opened the scoring after 23 minutes when York goalkeeper Harrison Male's ill-judged throw was miscontrolled by Alex Hunt and the ball fell for Oldham striker Joe Garner to fire a first-time effort into the bottom corner.

Oldham doubled their lead four minutes into the second half when Mike Fondop played a neat pass into Vimal Yoganathan and he drilled the ball into the bottom corner.

Joe Pritchard flicked home a header from Garner's teasing cross shortly afterwards to seal victory and Oldham's spot at Wembley on 1 June, when they will face Forest Green Rovers or Southend United for a place in the English Football League (EFL).
