Harrogate Town's dismal home form continued as they fell to a 1-2 defeat against Fleetwood Town, with Matty Virtue's stoppage-time winner condemning Simon Weaver's men to a ninth straight home defeat. The loss extends Harrogate Town's winless League Two run to 18 matches. Veteran forward Ched Evans had given Fleetwood the lead in added time at the end of the first half, but Aiden Marsh's 81st-minute equaliser had given the hosts hope. Marsh, recruited from National League Truro, levelled in emphatic style when he raced on to a long ball forward and drilled into Jay Lynch's bottom-left corner from 15 yards. But Harrogate hearts were broken in the first minute of second-half stoppage time when Cathal Heffernan's scuffed clearance fell to Virtue and he rifled into the roof of the net from eight yards. The defeat piles pressure on Simon Weaver's side, who are struggling to find form in League Two. Fleetwood, on the other hand, had lost their previous five fixtures, leading to the departure of Pete Wild as manager. Matt Lawlor's first game as interim head coach ended in victory, thanks to Virtue's late goal. Harrogate Town's next match will be crucial in determining their fate in League Two. The club's fans will be hoping for a turnaround in fortunes soon. And with the team's current form, it's clear that something needs to change. But for now, the focus is on the next match, and trying to get back to winning ways. So, the search for a win continues for Harrogate Town.
