Saturday 10 October 2020 18:35, UK
Morecambe climbed to the top of Sky Bet League Two courtesy of a deserved 3-2 victory at struggling Oldham.
Derek Adams' side notched an impressive fourth win from five so far this term, while Oldham now prop up the fourth-tier table.
Morecambe went close early on when John O'Sullivan turned neatly before drilling inches off target.
Aaron Wildig then crossed for Harry Davis, only for his bullet header to be brilliantly saved by Ian Lawlor.
At the other end Jordan Barnett ought to have done better when he fired into the side-netting.
