LATICS LIFT-OFF
NORBURN STUNNER SETTLES IT AT SIXFIELDS
Northampton 0, Oldham 1. Oldham: Oliver Norburn 70. Long-range strike gives depleted Oldham the points
Oliver Norburn's strike from outside the box won it for Oldham Athletic at Sixfields, a right-footed shot into the bottom left corner after 70 minutes and his first goal for the club.
Oldham were without Kai Payne and Kane Drummond, who are serving bans after their red cards against Crawley. Calum Kavanagh had already hit the bar for the visitors. Northampton kept pressing, with Matty Warhurst having several efforts, but Mathew Hudson held firm in the Oldham goal.
"I thought it was a low quality League Two game to be honest and we've come out on the wrong end of the result," Northampton boss Chris Hogg admitted. "We didn't do enough to win the game." He added: "But we didn't take our chances and then we got done with a poor goal at the other end. It's frustrating and disappointing but that's football."
Where it leaves them: Northampton 21st on 14 points; Oldham 18th on 15 points. Oldham climb to 18th, leapfrogging Northampton, who stay two points above the relegation zone.
