Grant McCann’s side are now unbelievably just a solitary point outside the play-offs with three games of the season remaining. They eased to victory here with four different scorers.
Hakeeb Adelakun continued his red-hot form with the opener before teeing up Joe Ironside for the second. James Maxwell made it 3-0 on the hour before Owen Bailey wrapped up the scoring. Here’s how we rated the players in today’s clash.

2. Thimothee Lo-Tutala 7
Hardly had a thing to do all game, save for a few catches and straightforward stops. A cool and composed figure that sets the tone. Photo: HOWARD ROE
3. Jamie Sterry 7
Another excellent showing, both in containing the rare Accrington attacks down his flank and getting forward. Photo: HOWARD ROE
4. Richard Wood 8
Nullified the few threats Stanley posed. Made a whopping eight clearances - by far and away the highest total - before being cleverly rested and taken off just after the hour. Photo: HOWARD ROE
