FOOTBALL - Evesham United thrashed at home by Willand after early red card

EVESHAM United suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat against Willand Rovers after Sam Bailey saw red early on for the home side.

Bailey saw red for two yellow cards after just 15 minutes as the visitors punished the home side on a difficult afternoon for the Robins at the Spiers and Hartwell Stadium.

The result means Evesham sit fourth in the Southern League Division One South table, six points behind leaders Yate Town.

Bailey picked up his first booking after just nine minutes before receiving a second yellow card on the quarter-hour mark after pulling back a Willand player inside the box.

And Willand made United pay from the penalty spot as Owen Howe stepped up to score from 12-yards out.

Evesham held firm until the 52nd minute when Howe grabbed his second of the game to leave the home side with a mountain to climb.




And Jacob Wellington sealed the points for the visitors with six minutes left to play before Philip Da Silva Mendoca completed the scoring in injury time.

Evesham are next in action against Malvern Town on Tuesday, October 29 with kick-off at 7.45pm at the Spiers and Hartwell Stadium.
