York City kept their automatic promotion hopes firmly alive with a commanding 3-0 victory over Yeovil Town in their penultimate league match. This win, powered by goals from Ollie Pearce, Josh Stones, and Joe Grey, marked York’s fifth consecutive victory, maintaining their two-point lead over rivals Rochdale.
The match saw York take control early, with captain Ollie Pearce heading in the opener in the 23rd minute after a precise assist from Ollie Banks. Stones doubled the advantage just before half-time, skillfully maneuvering into space and firing a low shot past Glovers’ goalkeeper Jed Ward.
Despite Ward’s impressive stops denying Stones a second goal after the break, York extended their lead deep into stoppage time when Joe Grey struck to seal a comfortable win for Stuart Maynard’s squad.
