Carlisle United delivered a devastating second-half performance to overturn a 2-1 halftime deficit and thrash Boston United 6-2 at Brunton Park. The turning point came on 61 minutes when Boston's Frankie Maguire, who had given his side the lead, received a red card immediately before Regan Linney converted the resulting penalty. David Ajiboye emerged as the hero with a brilliant brace in the final ten minutes, while an unfortunate own goal from substitute Alex Lankshear and a stoppage-time strike from Bevis Mugabi completed the rout. This emphatic victory will give Carlisle significant momentum in their National League campaign, while Boston must regroup quickly after throwing away what looked like a promising away performance in the first half.
How entertaining was this match?
