Mani Dieseruvwe helped himself to a second-half double as Halifax beat Gateshead 2-0.

Dieseruvwe’s header forced Gateshead keeper Daniel Langley into a smart save with half an hour played and the teams went in level after an evenly matched first half.

It took Dieseruvwe just six minutes of the second half to make the breakthrough, slotting home after good work from Jack Senior and Matt Warburton, and he doubled his tally four minutes later with an effort from outside the box.

Sam Minihan almost added a third but Langley pulled off another superb save before the visitors lost Owen Gallacher to a second yellow card late on.
