Shrewsbury earned a 2-1 victory over Oldham at The Croud Meadow on Saturday afternoon in League Two, with the goals coming after the break in a match that was goalless at half-time.

Oldham pulled one back deep into stoppage time, Favour Fawunmi scoring in the 90th minute plus three to make it 2-1, but it was not enough to deny Shrewsbury all three points.

The result leaves Shrewsbury 10th in League Two after 15 matches played, with six wins, three draws and six defeats to their name, accumulating 21 points. Their last five results read: won, lost, drawn, won, won.

They have won four, drawn three and lost eight of their 15 league fixtures, leaving them with 15 points — six behind Shrewsbury — and in the bottom third of the table.
