Harrogate secured their League Two status courtesy of a 3-1 comeback win at home to Fleetwood.

Trailing against the run of play, the Sulphurites fought back to pull nine points clear of the relegation zone with just two games left to play.

Harrogate carried the greater threat in the opening half, Josh March seeing an effort ruled out for a push before Stephen Dooley’s low effort was saved by Jay Lynch.

Ellis Taylor then bent a 30-yard free-kick narrowly wide and March saw a goal-bound strike cleared off the line by Fin Potter.

Having offered nothing as an attacking force for 51 minutes, Fleetwood took the lead from their first chance when Kobei Moore slotted home Mackenzie Hunt’s left-wing corner.

Harrogate would however respond within five minutes, Jasper Moon left with a simple finish after Lynch made a meal of saving Taylor’s free-kick.

The hosts turned the game on its head just after the hour mark as Taylor slotted the ball underneath Lynch, having been played in behind by March.

Substitute Tom Cursons then tapped home Taylor’s cross to add some gloss in the sixth minute of stoppage time.
