A Michael Twiss goal was enough to give bottom club Altrincham a win against 10-man Fleetwood Town.

Wayne Curtis and Paul Linwood both went close as the visitors created the best of the early chances.

The home side took the lead when a long goal-kick by Colburn was collected by Twiss, who slotted in from 12 yards.

Fleetwood were reduced to 10 men when Nathan Pond was shown a second yellow card as their 10-match unbeaten run came to an end.
