Stockport County boss Dave Challinor sung the praises of on-loan Aston Villa attacker Louie Barry after victory over Harrogate.

The win takes the Hatters to top of the League Two table, with Barry forcing an own goal.

Challinor later said: "When he tiptoes along the touchline and byline like he did for the second goal, you think there's no way he can stay up, but he has great balance."

Challinor added: “It's a real, real good effort to win eight games in all competitions in a row. It does give you an indestructible feeling but we've just got to keep churning things out, whether that means steamrollering teams or digging in to get results.

“This was potentially a tough game because, with their game plan, the back four and two central midfielders hardly moved, so it can be hard to hurt them in behind but, with the quality of our second-half performance, we should have won by more and it was never a penalty."
