The LNER Community Stadium was the scene of a dominant display by York City, who convincingly defeated Wealdstone 4-0 in the English National League. The home side showcased exceptional attacking form, leaving their visitors unable to respond effectively.
York City established their control from the early stages. The breakthrough arrived in the 18th minute when Malachi Fagan-Walcott found the net, following a pass from Hiram Boateng. This opening goal appeared to spur on the Minstermen, and their sustained pressure soon resulted in a second. Just eight minutes later, Ollie Pearce doubled the lead, making it 2-0.
The second half continued in the same vein, with York City maintaining their offensive intensity. Pearce was again the scorer in the 60th minute, securing his second goal of the match and extending the advantage to 3-0. The scoring was concluded in the 75th minute by Alex Newby, who received a pass from substitute Ollie Banks, confirming a resounding 4-0 victory.
Wealdstone, despite introducing several tactical substitutions in the second half in an attempt to alter the course of the game, struggled to gain any significant influence. Their attempts to reorganise their defence and midfield proved ineffective against a York City side that dictated play for the majority of the contest.
This victory sees York City solidify their strong league standing. Before this match, they occupied seventh place with 22 points from 12 games. This win elevates them to sixth place, accumulating 25 points and underscoring their promotion ambitions. Wealdstone, conversely, remain in mid-table, sitting in tenth place with 19 points from 15 games, and will be seeking to recover swiftly from this disappointing outcome.
