Tylor Golden scored the winning goal for Altrincham against Woking in an ill-tempered Vanarama National League clash which saw both sides reduced to 10 men.

Altrincham appeared to have their backs against the wall when Eddy Jones was shown a straight red card for a foul on Cian Harries after just 12 minutes.

However, Golden put the home side ahead when he scored a fine goal on his debut with 27 minutes gone.

Woking’s hopes of an equaliser were dealt a blow when they were reduced to 10 men after Dale Gorman was dismissed for a second bookable offence early in the second half.

And Altrincham did enough to see out the game and open their campaign with all three points.
