Carl Baker's brace and a fine Stephen Gleeson strike condemned struggling Carlisle to a comprehensive defeat.

Now without a win in 12 games, the visitors should have opened the scoring but Graham Kavanagh blazed well over.

The hosts went in front after eight minutes when Baker pounced on a loose ball before firing home low and hard.

Stockport went two up after 63 minutes when Stephen Gleeson crashed home a 20-yarder and Baker made it three seven minutes later stabbing home a shot.
