Mossley got back to winning ways in style on Wednesday with a 3-1 win at 2025/26 play-off semi-finalists Lower Breck.
A brace from Charlie Frost – which takes him to the top of the NPL West goalscoring chart – helped the Lilywhites move up to seventh in the table.
Alex Craddock’s side got off to a flying start in Merseyside, with Ben Kershaw finishing off a swift counter to open the scoring after just 11 minutes.
Frost added a second just before the break to put his side firmly in control going into the interval.
Hosts Breck did manage to halve the deficit shortly after the break, with Terence Miles converting from a corner, but Frost was on hand to restore his side’s two-goal cushion just seconds later, netting his 11th goal of the campaign.
Mossley now sit just two points behind second-placed Prescot Cables, ahead of Saturday’s trip to strugglers Congleton Town.
While United’s trip to Elland Road went better than many expected, it wasn’t quite the emphatic response Michael Carrick would have been hoping for after a tumultuous week.
There is no denying that Manchester City have made a pretty special start to life under Enzo Maresca, with Saturday’s victory over Ipswich Town taking us to seven wins from seven in the Premier League and putting the Italian into the history books.
Brilliant Belle Vue are the Premiership Champions for the third time in five years after sealing the title with a comfortable 53-37 win over Sheffield on Friday.
