Morecambe's unbeaten run falls flat on it's arse with a 1-2 defeat at the hands of a physical Accrington side who out muscled and forced the pace of the game in their favour.

Ex Shrimps loanee Phil Edward caused the damage on the day with two quick second half goals to give Stanley their third victory in a row over Morecambe despite a goal from Hunter on 68 mins and a host of chances to equalise late on.

Duffy in the thick of it.

Post match comments from a down in the dumps Sammy Mac :

"I was disappointed with the performance and that is something I have not had to say for a long time.

"We had a massive chance to put a footing in the play-off spots but we let everyone down."
