Clarke fires Iron to victory
Scunthorpe 1-0 Colchester
22nd Sept 2012

Glanford Park
Scunthorpe extended their unbeaten run, picking up another win along the way, when they saw off struggling Colchester at Glanford Park on Saturday afternoon.
The sides went in level at the break, but mainly because Scunthorpe keeper Sam Slocombe was able to produce a fine save to deny Gavin Massey from range.
Slocombe again denied The U's just before the hour when he instinctively kept out a Clinton Morrison header.
The visitors chance to win the game came late on when a penalty was awarded, which Leon Clarke (76) made no mistake with as he tucked this away to score his fourth goal in as many games.
That goal was enough to give The Iron a 1-0 win, and extend their unbeaten run to four whilst making it eight without a win for The U's!
