Solihull Moors secured a dramatic 3-2 comeback victory at Wealdstone on Tuesday night, a key result that lifts them off the foot of the National League table. The win moves them to 23rd place on 7 points after 14 games, providing a significant boost ahead of their next fixture. Their record now stands at two wins, one draw and eleven losses, with a goal difference of negative 23 after scoring 14 and conceding 37. They remain 31 points behind the league leaders Boreham Wood.
Johnson gave the Moors a dream start, firing them ahead after just three minutes. The lead was doubled sixteen minutes later when Andrews found the net, with Johnson providing the assist. That 2-0 advantage looked comfortable for much of the contest.
Wealdstone mounted a late fightback, with Henry pulling a goal back in the 81st minute. The response from Solihull was immediate and decisive. Substitute High, who had entered the fray on the hour mark, restored the two-goal cushion just five minutes later, finishing from a Sbarra pass. Okenabirhie scored a consolation for the hosts in the 89th minute, but the Moors held on for a precious three points.
Substitutions and Discipline
High's impact was the most telling, scoring the decisive third goal. The game ended with late yellow cards for Wakeling and French of Solihull Moors.
The victory snaps a run of three consecutive league defeats and provides vital momentum. Their recent form now reads two wins and three losses from their last five outings, a sequence that includes a 5-0 defeat at Worthing and a 2-1 loss at Kidderminster Harriers on Saturday 17 October. They also recorded a 2-1 win over Newcastle United U21 and a 1-0 victory over Everton U21 in that period. Next up is a home clash against Kidderminster Harriers this Saturday 31 October. Kidderminster, currently 12th, were 2-1 winners when the sides met just two weeks ago, a result Solihull will be eager to avenge at Damson Park. The Moors will hope to build on their latest result, a 3-2 win over Wealdstone on Tuesday 27 October, which followed a 2-1 home defeat to Carlisle on Saturday 24 October.
