Jarrow went into this game on the back of a 7-game unbeaten run-in league and cup after a timely upturn in results and ultimately cruised to a comfortable victory after a dominant performance in front of a sizeable and boisterous crowd.

 

After 10 minutes Jarrow’s passing game finally clicked as neat footwork from Hudson released Salim down the right-hand side of the area but the tricky forward could only screw his left foot shot wide of the right-hand post. Jarrow however were now asserting themselves on their opponents and sensing an opening.

 

Just three minutes later and Salim nipped in to pinch the ball off the full backs poor pass and hit it first time, the ball however crashed off the cross bar and was hooked to safety by Willington.

 

Then just a minute after that chance an Alex Berhan ball over the top found Salim in space who drove with purpose into the box and went down under a challenge from a Willo defender. Rather harshly it has to be said on the replay the referee pointed to the spot and awarded the home side the chance for first blood. Salim who won the spot kick stepped up to take it and saw his 2nd spot kick of the week saved by the keeper low to his left.

 

On 28 minutes Salim again had a great chance to score after jinking one way then the next leaving Willo defenders in his wake as they went diving in to try and stop him but as he pulled the trigger his left footed shot missed the left-hand post and the score remained 0-0, on another day Salim would be celebrating a 28-minute hattrick!

 

5 minutes later and Willington had their best chance of the half as a remarkable outside of the foot through ball from the defender dissected the Jarrow defence but the Willo winger could only put his shot wide, Picks not having to make the save. A let off for Jarrow though who were dominating.

 

Then a minute later after almost conceding Jarrow went on the attack again with Alex Bone receiving the ball in an unusual advanced position. Boney then laid the ball off to Salim who controlled and tried to slot the ball home but it was saved well by the legs of the keeper to somehow keep the game scoreless!

 

With the score 0-0 Jarrow raced out of the blocks after the restart with Evan Whittle pouncing on a loose ball that found its way into the path of Salim who managed to slot the ball home for his 6th goal of the season! 1-0 and no more than the blue and white army deserved.

 

With 53 minutes on the clock Jarrow doubled their lead. It began with great defensive work from Alex Berhan who pinched the ball on the edge of his own box and drove forward with it and found Salim on half way. Salim swivelled, Talbot picked it up and played the ball into Hudson who unleashed Mully and the powerful striker found himself in and one on one with the keeper, yet instead of shooting Liam unselfishly slid the ball into the path of Salim, Mully channelling his inner Callum Wilson gave the 6 goal striker the easy chance and Abu made it 7 for the season!

 

Then on 63 minutes Abu Salim turned provider as he raced down the right and squared for Mully who connected well with the ball but the keeper again made a fantastic save. Unfortunately for the Willington man however it fell kindly to Evan Whittle who simply kept his shot low and stroked it in the back of the net. 3-0 and the 3 points were safe.

 

2 minutes later and the game was well and truly put to bed. An Alex Berhan ball found Hudson who calmly side footed a neat finish past the Willo keeper whose own performance didn’t deserve the score line.

 

A wonderful ball over the top then found substitute Luke Duffy who arched his run perfectly, Duffy then advanced towards goal and tried to meg the keeper who stood up yet again and saved well with his legs.

 

Hudson then released another substitute new signing teenager Kobe Bewicke who controlled well and struck a right footed shot that beat the keeper but cannoned back off the post, some debut it would’ve been for the former Whickham man!

 

There were no further goals in the game and Jarrow climbed to 16th place in the table after recording back-to-back wins for the first time this season. Man of the match was Evan Whittle for another driving midfield performance and capping it off with a well taken goal!
