Harry Chapman goal gives Gateshead vital victory after long journey to Truro

Harry Chapman goal gives Gateshead vital victory after long journey to Truro

Cutting in from the left touchline, the 28-year-old set off on a 40-yard diagonal run which ended with him curling a shot inside the far post from the edge of the penalty area early in the second half.

Chapman had earlier put his side, who ended a 16-match losing streak with victory over Halifax in midweek, ahead in the 19th minute with his first goal since October, poking a shot past goalkeeper Aidan Stone.

Tyler Harvey’s scruffy finish, converting Christian Oxlade-Chamberlain’s deep cross inside the six-yard area, drew the hosts level eight minutes later.
