Home comforts for York

Lowe claimed his fifth goal of the season and York hung on for maximum points despite Brad Halliday’s 61st-minute sending-off.

Accrington had two great first-half chances to open the scoring but Piero Mingoia and Matt Crooks both shot straight at home keeper Alex Cisak on the counter attack.

The visitors then paid for their profligacy on 35 minutes when centre-back Lowe headed home from a left-wing Michael Coulson cross.

York went down to 10 men when on-loan Middlesbrough teenager Halliday received the first red card of his career.

The flame-haired right-back threw himself into a two-footed challenge on Stanley centre-half Tom Aldred, making referee Darren Bond’s decision a simple one.

But the nearest Stanley came to claiming an equaliser was when Lee Molyneux’s 25-yard drive hit the outside of Cisak’s right-hand post.
