Chris Maguire’s first-half goal gave Eastleigh a 1-0 victory over 10-man Yeovil in the Vanarama National League.

The hosts made the decisive breakthrough in the 30th minute when the veteran forward finished off a good move involving Jai Semenyo and Angel Waruih.

The visitors were reduced to 10 men seven minutes later when Otis Khan saw red for an elbow on goalscorer Maguire.

Eastleigh did not allow their mid-table rivals a way back and climb above them in the table with the three points.
