The visitors took full advantage of the extra man early in the second half with an own goal from a Ryan Somers cross and then made it 2-1 on 55 minutes when Michael Hernandez tapped his shot home.

Max Edwards made it 3-1 with another setpiece and then Adam Smith sealed the win with a neat finish.

Boss Macca Youngson said: "We had a lot of drop-outs at the last minute with Christmas parties etc so all 12 men who played today chipped in but Ryan Somers was man of the match with a new role in the central defensive midfield position."
