Grimsby moved back within one point of the Sky Bet League Two play-offs with a 1-0 win over Accrington at Blundell Park.

Tyrell Silas-Fleming’s first goal made the difference for the Mariners as they continued their nine-game unbeaten run in the league.

The home side dominated the opening stages of the game, with the on-loan Hull City striker getting the first chance.

Just five minutes into the game he had the ball stuck at his feet as he attempted a shot from close range, and 15 minutes later he was brilliantly denied one-on-one by Stanley goalkeeper Ollie Wright.

Accrington would have taken the lead before the break had Jackson Smith not blocked Conor Grant’s long-range effort.

Silas Fleming gave the home team a deserved opener in the 58th minute when he cut in from outside the penalty area to the near post, cut in from the left wing and scored.

Devin Matthews was shown a straight red card for a fierce challenge on Clark O’Door in the 86th minute, thwarting the visitors’ efforts to equalize.
