ACCRINGTON Stanley wide man John O’Sullivan was delighted to end a goal drought that had stretched 10 matches with his goal at Woking in the FA Cup second round on Saturday.

The Blackburn Rovers loanee headed home the final goal in a 3-0 win for the Reds after Billy Kee had netted a first half brace.

The victory set up a third round clash at home to Luton Town in the new year and O’Sullivan was pleased to notch his second goal of the campaign.

“For myself personally it was great because I’ve been knocking on the door for a few weeks now and was just delighted to score and help the team,” said O’Sullivan who admitted finding the net with his head was a rarity.

“I was saying to the lads that I think that’s the first time I’ve scored a header in my career,” he added.

“Jimmy Bell has been screaming at me to get into the box, I ran a good 30 yards to get in there, it was a great ball in from Jordan Clark and I was just happy to get on the end of it.”

The Reds have found converting chances difficult in the past few weeks during a dip in form which has seen them slip to 20th in League Two.

But after putting three past their National League hosts last weekend, O’Sullivan is now hoping the goals will continue to come for Stanley when they make the journey to Leyton Orient on Saturday.

And the Irishman was also pleased to see last season’s top goalscorer Kee back among the goals.

“Credit to Billy, who has worked hard this week. He got his two goals and we’re delighted for him,” added the 23-year-old.

“Woking started off really well and got us on the back foot but I think we weathered the storm and settled down a little bit. That’s what you have to do in FA Cup games. We then got the goal and then after the sending off it was all us.

“Once we got the goal they had to come out a little bit more and defend a bit less it opened the game up and that suited us.

“Just before the sending off you could tell we were getting on top. We got the goal before it but of course the sending off was key. It’s tough enough to try to win with 11, let alone ten.

“We got the clean sheet and got the three goals.”
