Micah Obiero’s first-half brace boosted Wealdstone’s push for a play-off place as they thrashed Altrincham 4-0.

Obiero’s double was added to by Corie Andrews and Alex Dyer as the hosts bounced back from their 5-0 midweek mauling at Halifax to move within six points of the National League’s top seven.

Obiero gave the hosts a 17th-minute lead when he headed in Brooklyn Ilunga’s left-wing cross.

Altrincham striker Regan Linney was sent clear on goal three minutes later but he was denied an equaliser by home goalkeeper Sam Howes.

Obiero added a second on the half-hour mark when he slotted in from close range.

Andrews headed home from an Ilunga corner two minutes into the second period and Dyer wrapped things up in stoppage time.
