Liam Daly was sent off for Solihull after his challenge on Lee Vaughan

AFC Telford United gained an important three points with their 3-1 victory against Solihull Moors, recording their first league win in 2009.

Solihull's Liam Daly was sent off for a challenge on Lee Vaughan - and Gavin Cowan scored Telford's opener from the resulting free-kick in the 26th minute.

Danny Carey Bertram and Liam Blakeman then scored either side of half-time.

"It was all about three points. There's still a lot wrong but we won," boss Rob Smith told BBC Radio Shropshire.

"We were anxious. I laid into them before the game that if we don't start producing soon there's going to have to be wholesale changes."

But the Bucks' win came at a cost as they picked up several injuries.

Striker Terry Fearns aggravated a groin strain, while midfielders Blakeman and Jon Adams both picked up knocks.

Telford stay fourth in the Blue Square North still six points behind Tamworth who beat King's Lynn at The Lamb.
