ACCRINGTON Stanley maintained their 100 per cent record in League Two with victory at home to Port Vale tonight.

Ian Dunbavin was required to make a number of fine saves after the interval, while Sam Morsy headed against the post.
But Stanley made it six points out of six following Saturday’s win at Southend as substitute James Gray sealed victory three minutes into stoppage time.

2-0 flattered Stanley but Vale didn't take 2 late chances and paid the price, and anyway Dunbavin would've saved if they'd been on target (great game, mate).
Terrific display..... when was there ever a lost cause or a challenge not made?
Amazing support from the Ultras, you lot are a credit to the club!
