T&A chief sports writer Simon Parker provides all the facts and figures as well as the player ratings.
MAN OF THE MATCH
Ben Richards-Everton was a commanding figure in City’s defence again and showed why he was picked for the League Two team of the month.
MOMENT OF THE MATCH
The sheer elation around Valley Parade after Paudie O’Connor had scored the winner in front of the Kop.

Bowyer went with a 4-4-2 formation with Dylan Connolly on one wing and Harry Pritchard the other.
