Little missed a penalty on his final appearance for Altrincham

Adam Marriott's brace was enough to give Cambridge a 2-0 win away at Altrincham, who saw a first-half penalty saved by Simon Brown.

After soaking up early Cambridge pressure the Robins wasted a great opportunity to take the lead when Colin Little's penalty was brilliantly saved.

Cambridge broke the deadlock 15 minutes from time when Marriott slotted home.

And two minutes into injury time he grabbed his second courtesy of an Aiden Palmer assist.
