Carlisle run ended by in-form Woking

Carlisle missed the opportunity to move top of the National League table as their nine-game unbeaten run was ended by a 3-1 defeat to Woking.

Chris Conn-Clarke struck the post in the opening minutes as in-form Carlisle started on the front foot.

And Mark Hughes’ side were ahead after 25 minutes through Junior Luamba who was played in behind and finished coolly past Will Jaaskelainen before limping off injured.

Woking stunned the hosts with a quickfire double before the break. Jamie Andrews got the equaliser in the 43rd minute with a stunning strike from distance which cannoned in off the crossbar.

And the visitors were ahead in first-half stoppage time as Tunji Akinola turned in from a corner.

Aiden O’Brien added a third for Woking in the 90th minute as they made it 10 matches without defeat and moved up to ninth in the table.
