Three second half goals ended Woking’s run of four games without a victory as they won 3-0 at Solihull Moors on September 30.

Neal Ardley’s team arrived at the ARMCO Arena desperate for a result against a Solihull side whose fortunes had started to turn.

Ardley brought in Aiden O’Brien, Jamie Andrews, Olly Sanderson, Aaron Drewe and Jack Turner for Timi Odusina, Timmy Akinola, Matt Ward, Jake Forster-Caskey and Josh Kelly.

A low-key start saw Moors try to test the backline with long throw after long throw, but nothing was falling for them.

It took until past the half-hour mark for a significant chance of note. Solihull’s Callum McFarlane benefitted from a ricochet to collect the ball inside the box, but his shot on the swivel went wide.

Woking’s first shot saw Turner let fly from range, and he had Laurie Walker worried for half a second before it went wide of the corner.

Then two openings for Sanderson just before half-time nearly saw the Cards go in one up.

First a similar situation to the McFarlane chance saw the Fulham loanee hit the target, but he was brilliantly denied by Walker, with the former Barnet keeper at full stretch to tip over.

Then after Solihull appealed for a foul following a collision minutes later, Sanderson raced through and smashed an effort against the crossbar and back out again.

It was better from the Cards, who finished the half the stronger and gave their 56 travelling fans in the crowd of 693 hope for more in the second period.

It took just five minutes for Woking to take a deserved lead, when a well-worked move saw the ball shifted out to Drewe, whose cross was tapped in at the back post by Sanderson.

The Cards doubled their lead just after the hour mark when Drewe was found inside the box from an Andrews long throw and powered a header into the top corner.

From that point the Moors’ heads dropped and Woking killed off the game.

Wakeling was lively all night for Solihull, and he was denied well by the body of Jaaskelainen after he evaded the Woking defence.

But when the ball fell to substitute Kelly inside the box with just under 15 minutes to play, there was only one thing on his mind and he drilled low past Walker to give the Cards an unassailable lead.

There was a chance for fellow substitute Josh Osude to get his name on the scoresheet, but he fired wide, before Ward, also off the bench, shot over with the last kick of the game.

It was a fantastic night for the Cards, who deserved the scoreline and were excellent at a tough place to get three points. The result left Woking 19th in the National League table with 12 points from 13 games.

Woking gave their man of the match award to Aaron Drewe, who scored, assisted and produced an excellent all-round display on the right side of their defence.
