Four second-half goals in an eight-minute spell, including a Matt Tubbs brace, secured a comfortable win for Salisbury City against Altrincham.

Sean Clohessy opened the scoring for the hosts, drilling home from inside the area before Jake Reid added a second with a similar strike.

Tubbs smashed in the Whites' third before netting his 31st goal of the season by heading home Reid's cross.

Alty claimed a consolation when Chris Senior turned in Colin Little's pass.

Salisbury manager Tommy Widdrington told BBC Radio Wiltshire:

"We've had adversity thrown at us. Every time we've had our backs to the wall, we've come out scrapping.

"That's a trait that's got us a lot of results when maybe they could have gone the other way.

"The fourth goal was an excellent move with eight or nine passes from one side of the pitch to the other. There's nobody there tonight that I can't give a pat on the back to."
