AFC Fylde produced the result of the day by stunning National League leaders Macclesfield Town. The Coasters struck six past the Silkmen without reply to continue their good form and climb up to ninth. Macc remain top by three points.
Aldershot Town stayed second with a draw against Ebbsfleet United while Sutton United moved level on points with the Shots by beating Dagenham & Redbridge in the early game on BT Sport.
At the bottom, Chester and Torquay United both suffered heavy defeats while Solihull Moors closed the gap on survival with a win over Woking, who remain in freefall.

A string of fine saves earned Aldershot a point against Ebbsfleet

Two goals and orchestrator of Fylde’s six-goal show

Dream debut for the Heed in the victory over Chester

Constant threat down the left and a goal to boot
 

Harry Beautyman

Midfielder – Sutton United
Really settling in nicely at Sutton and was behind all their best moves as Dagenham were put to the sword
 

Jermaine Hylton

Proved too hot for Woking to handle as his two goals set up another vital win
 

James Norwood

Forward – Tranmere Rovers
His opening goal and subsequent man-of-the-match show proved the difference
