Eastleigh return to winning ways with victory over strugglers Morecambe

Eastleigh returned to winning ways with a 2-1 victory over strugglers Morecambe.

The Spitfires were without a win in their last three games and both teams came close to an opener through Jack Nolan and Ciaran McGuckin.

Nick Townsend held Nolan’s menacing corner and McGuckin had an effort blocked just before the break, but Eastleigh took the lead in the 51st minute through Lloyd Humphries’ free-kick, which landed in the top corner.
