Boreham Wood held off 10-man Altrincham to climb above their hosts on goal difference just below the National League play-off places.

Kane Smith set the ball rolling for the visitors after six minutes, with the goal created by good work from Jamal Fyfield, and Altrincham had Connor Hampson sent off before the half-hour for two bookings in quick succession for fouls on Smith.

The free-kick after his second booking led to Kabongo Tshimanga doubling the lead, and Fyfield went close to a third as the visitors wrapped up a dominant half.

Corey Whitely's superb volley just after half-time made it 3-0 and Tony Thompson brilliantly denied Junior Morias a fourth.

Matty Kosylo's deflected effort pulled one back for Altrincham and, when Tom Peers fired home a second with five minutes remaining, a dramatic finish was on the cards, but Wood pulled through.
