Nick Haughton scored a hat-trick as Fylde recorded a 3-2 win against 10-man Solihull at Mill Farm.

The Coasters opened the scoring after Haughton’s fine free-kick with just 10 minutes gone only for Owen Evans to put through his own net.

Jack Stevens then handed the visitors the lead shortly before the interval.

Haughton struck another set-piece to haul his side level after 57 minutes before Joss Labadie was shown a second yellow card.

Labadie’s dismissal handed the initiative to Fylde with Haughton completing a fine treble with only seven minutes remaining.
