Eastleigh returned to winning ways in the National League with a 3-2 triumph over Scunthorpe United at their home ground. The Spitfires secured their second league win of the new season, earning six points from a possible nine after a victory against Gateshead and a defeat at Kidderminster Harriers.
Key Moments
The match opened with a striking long‑range effort from Harry Sidwell, who was on loan from AFC Wimbledon. Sidwell’s goal came in the 37th minute, giving Eastleigh an early advantage. Scunthorpe fought back when Alfie Beestin equalised early in the second half, but Aaron Blair restored the lead for Eastleigh in the 55th minute. With 20 minutes remaining, James Gale levelled the score for Scunthorpe, only for Josh Lundstram to seal the win for Eastleigh with a goal two minutes later.
Looking Ahead
Eastleigh’s win puts them in a solid position as they prepare for a long trip north to Hartlepool on Friday night. The victory demonstrates the team’s resilience and sets a positive tone for the rest of the campaign.
