Full time: Gateshead 3-0 Chester
A woeful start for the Blues as a Theo Vassell own goal, one for Wes York and one for Manny Smith condemn Jon McCarthy’s men to defeat.
Should have been 4-0
Johnny Hunt looked like he handled the ball but it comes out and is blazed over by Bowman.
Poor
Paddy McLaughlin cross finds the head of Manny Smith who powers home. A dreadful start to the season.
That could be that
Sub Ryan Bowman plays in York on the left who has time to advance and pick is spot in the far corner, beating Roberts easily. 82mins.
Akintunde effort
Sub Akintunde finds Mahon who runs into space, feeds it back to Akintunde who curls an effort at Johnson.
Chester look to respond
Decent passage of play sees Durrell put in a dangerous cross that can’t find Alabi and Gateshead hack clear. 67mins
