Yeovil Town Triumphs 3-1 Over Boston United in Action-Packed Encounter
Yeovil Town secured a 3-1 victory against fellow newly-promoted side Boston United, with a first-half double from Brett McGavin setting the tone in a match full of drama.
The midfielder wasted no time, curling in a stunning free-kick just five minutes into the game. However, Boston quickly capitalised on some sloppy defending by Yeovil to equalise. The home side's momentum was short-lived as, just 12 minutes later, Boston was reduced to ten men when Jordan Richards was shown a red card for a heavy challenge on Charlie Cooper.
Yeovil took full advantage of their numerical superiority with McGavin striking again, calmly placing the ball into the net from the edge of the box with seven minutes left in the first half.
Despite being a man down, Boston continued to battle, making it difficult for Yeovil to extend their lead. It wasn't until the 75th minute that the Glovers made their dominance count, with a brilliant run and cross from Sam Pearson finding substitute Jordan Young, who slotted home to make it 3-1 and seemingly secure the three points.
