Telford's Steve Thompson (r) battles to win the ball at Haig Avenue

AFC Telford United slumped to their second away defeat in four days as they were easily beaten at Haig Avenue by second-placed Southport.

The Bucks should have been ahead at the break, but top scorer Andy Brown missed from the penalty spot.

And Matty McGinn's second-half brace, bolstered by an injury-time effort from Chris Simm, secured Southport's win.

Telford have slid seven points off the play-offs, having now lost three Blue Square North games in a row.

Bucks boss Rob Smith told BBC Radio Shropshire: "What's costing us is individual mistakes. It's mistakes all the time."
