TWO late goals by Stanley striker Paul Mullin made it two successive wins for the Reds as they moved up to 12th place in the UniBond Premier Division table.

Mullin struck in the 87th and 90th minute to take his tally to six goals for the season.

Accrington boss John Coleman had hoped last Wednesday's 5-2 win over Droylsden would kick start their season as they look to slowly make an impact towards the top of the table.

But he must have thought a draw was on the cards despite a good start.

Summer signing Steve Flitcroft opened their account in the first minute and the Reds held onto their advantage until the 74th when Collins equalised in front of a crowd of just 194.

But Mullin's late show secured another victory - and took their goal tally to 20 goals in their eight games. Lutel James leads the way with seven.

They will look to continue their recent form when they travel to last season's runners-up Emley tonight.

The Yorkshire side haven't had such a blistering start to the new campaign, and lie just two points ahead of Stanley, with the Reds having a game in hand.

Accrington will be without Mark Ceraolo, who is on crutches, while skipper Jay Flannery is a doubt after coming off midway through the second half at Frickley.

And defender Steve Morgan, the former Claret signed last week from the League of Wales, is still struggling with a hamstring injury.

RESULT: FRICKLEY...1 ACCRINGTON ST...3

Stanley are still waiting to see who they will play in the first qualifying round of the FA Cup on Saturday, September 29.

The Reds will be away to either Crook Town or Pickering Town, whose game ended 1-1 on Saturday.
