Stevenage 2-0 Grimsby: Stevenage back on track with win

Highlights of the Sky Bet League Two fixture between Stevenage and Grimsby.

Stevenage returned to winning ways after successive Sky Bet League Two defeats with a 2-0 victory over Grimsby.

Steven Schumacher put the home side ahead with a spectacular free-kick on three minutes before Jobi McAnuff grabbed a second on the hour.

And that was enough to land Boro their first victory in three matches.

It was a frantic start at Broadhall Way but while Grimsby began the day on the back of four wins in six, their out-of-form hosts - who had lost five of their last six - struck first.

And it came in some style as Schumacher placed the ball 30 yards out before producing a stunning free-kick that Dean Henderson was powerless to stop.

Omar Bogle passed up two similar set-piece opportunities at the other end, while Matt Godden hit high and wide with Stevenage's next best chance.

Upon the restart, Grimsby pushed and probed for a leveller.
