Carlisle United secured a 2-0 away win against AFC Fylde with goals from Jack Ellis and Regan Linney. The victory at Mill Farm on Tuesday moves Carlisle up to 16th in the National League table with 13 points from 11 games.
Ellis opened the scoring five minutes before half-time, finishing from close range. The defender then turned provider after the break, setting up a quick counter that ended with David Ajiboye delivering a low cross for Linney to double the lead in the 78th minute. Carlisle goalkeeper Adam Desbois preserved the clean sheet with a strong save from a Luca Thomas strike, while Stephen Wearne made a vital goal-line clearance.
The result ends a run of two consecutive league defeats for Paul Simpson's side. This recent form, with one win and two losses in their last three matches, gives them a platform to build on. They now look ahead to a trip to face seventh-placed Aldershot Town this Saturday, a side that has taken 19 points from their opening 11 fixtures.
