Harrogate make it five in a row after sweeping Sutton aside


Bailey Hobson, Josh Hmami and George Thomson on target for the home side.
A blistering spell of three goals in five first-half minutes saw second-placed Harrogate record a fifth successive National League victory with 3-1 win at home to Sutton.
Substitute George Thomson played a pivotal role after replacing the injured Will McGowan just before the half-hour.
First he teed up Bailey Hobson to fire home from the edge of the penalty area for his fifth goal in seven games before scoring the third just eight minutes after coming on, converting Ethan Bristow’s pass.
In between, Brad Dolaghan intercepted a pass out of defence and Josh Hmami rolled the ball into an empty net.
Ben Brookes’ 74th-minute consolation could not prevent Sutton’s poor form being extended to just one win in the last 10 games.
