Yeovil Town beat Carlisle United by a scoreline that, given the flow of the contest, flattered the hosts not at all. The visitors arrived at Brunton Park composed and left with a performance that justified every point they have accumulated this season.
Yeovil settled quickly. M. Feeney opened the scoring inside five minutes, and Harvey Macadam doubled the advantage before the quarter-hour mark. Carlisle looked disorganised in those opening exchanges, and L. Armstrong pulled one back on 17 minutes to offer some hope, but the home side never truly threatened to turn the match around.
Ryan Galvin's goal just before half-time restored Yeovil's two-goal cushion and gave them exactly the foothold they needed heading into the break. Carlisle reorganised but made little impression after the interval.
The 74th minute settled the contest comprehensively. Harvey Greenslade added a fourth, and Yeovil's management made a cluster of substitutions at that point, introducing Terrell Works, C. Conn-Clarke, and Regan Linney as the home side tired visibly. Hugh Parker scored on 78 minutes, with Charlie Wyke also entering the fray, before Troy Perret extended the lead on 80 minutes.
Alex Whittle completed the scoring on 86 minutes, with Jonathan Page coming on late for the visitors as they managed the game out without difficulty.
Carlisle have work to do. Yeovil, by contrast, look a well-organised side with genuine momentum.
