Tamworth snap winless run by thumping nine-man Altrincham

Tamworth registered a first win in seven National League games by thrashing nine-man Altrincham 5-1 at the Lamb Ground.

Kennedy Digie headed the hosts into a half-time lead but Jimmy Knowles equalised early in the second period with his ninth league goal of the season.

Robins defender Dan Sassi was dismissed for a high challenge in the 54th minute before Stefan Mols restored Tamworth’s advantage with a penalty four minutes later after Tylor Golden was sent off for conceding the spot-kick.

Substitute Ben Acquaye put the result beyond doubt in the 72nd minute before Joe Rye added another and Jordan Cullinane-Liburd completed the scoring in added time.
