Wycombe Wanderers won for the fourth league game in a row as they defeated Accrington Stanley 2-0 at the Wham Stadium.

Josh Scowen’s brilliant strike in the first half and Garath McCleary’s goal in the final minute was all that separated the two sides, as the Adams Park club recorded their eighth clean sheet in 13 games.

The visitors began their trip to the North West with a flurry of chances inside the opening 15 minutes, as Brandon Hanlan forced Lukas Jensen into a brilliant save after just three minutes.

The chances kept on coming as Lews Wing fired over from range whilst Chem Campbell, who was making his first start for the club, had an attempt go just over the crossbar.

And it didn’t take long for the Chairboys to get their goal as on 18 minutes, Scowen smashed home from 25-yards to give Wycombe the lead.

After Jason McCarthy’s cross was deflected into the path of the former QPR man, he fired home his second of the season.

Accrington improved as the half went on but Max Stryjek produced several comfortable saves, but the hosts did beat the Polish international on 28 minutes.

Captain Sean McConville slotted home from close range, but thankfully for Wycombe, the strike was ruled out for offside.

The hosts started the second period the better side with Rosaire Longelo causing the Chairboys numerous problems.

His crosses, long-range efforts and ability to beat a man led Gareth Ainsworth to change from a four at the back to a five, as Accrington showed no signs of backing down.

However, despite the possession, dangerous deliveries, and numerous attempts, Stryjek was on hand to thwart any sniff of an equaliser, as he denied Shaun Whalley, Tommy Leigh, and Longelo.

The victory was then sealed for the Chairboys in the dying embers of the game, McCleary slotted home his seventh of the campaign.

Wycombe move on to 50 points for the season, winning 15 of their 30 league games.
