Boreham Wood strike twice to secure overdue win against Scunthorpe

Two goals in two minutes saw Boreham Wood earn their first win in five games by beating Scunthorpe 2-0 in the Vanarama National League.

Tyrone Marsh had a chance for the Wood but his effort flew over the bar before Zak Brunt’s shot whistled past a post.

Aaron Chapman then made a fine save to stop a deflected effort from Lee Ndlovu before the Iron had a chance from a free-kick, but Nathan Ashmore saved Alfie Beestin’s header.

Boreham took a quickfire lead when Brunt played in Marsh, who fired home from the right-hand side of the area in the 64th minute.

They then added a second just two minutes later when Ndlovu took advantage of a backpass mistake from Scunthorpe and tapped the ball home.
