Morecambe capitalised on the one man advantage, equalising after 14 minutes when the referee awarded the home team a penalty when Kai Herbert’s shirt was pulled in the box and Hawley despatched the penalty into the bottom right hand corner.

Morecambe took the lead when a corner into the penalty area was put into the net by Kaleb Young after Hawley had kept the ball alive, before a debut goal by Ambibola Obasobo edged Morecambe into a 3-1 lead.

Obasobo controlled the ball and worked his way through the Accrington defence before driving the ball past Toby Savin in the Accrington goal.

Hawley made it 4-1 with 15 minutes to go after another good finish past the keeper before the talisman converted a late penalty to complete his hat-trick as Morecambe ran out comfortable 5-1 winners.
