Wycombe hammer Stockport to storm to top of League One

Wycombe hammer

Wycombe leapfrogged Birmingham to the top of League One after an impressive 5-0 victory at Stockport.

Richard Kone’s brace, including a penalty, and Fred Onyedinma’s strike saw the visitors grab a three-goal advantage inside 18 minutes at Edgeley Park.

Onyedinma’s header and Aaron Morley’s strike after half-time further confirmed Wycombe’s fifth successive league win as they leapfrogged the Blues on goal difference.

The Chairboys went ahead after 10 minutes when Fraser Horsfall fouled Dan Udoh and Kone fired home from the penalty spot.

Onyedinma capitalised shortly afterwards as County’s defence stood off the attacker to double the lead.

Kone’s second came when Corey Addai parried Cameron Humphreys’ cross into his path to slot home from close range.

Kone nearly completed his hat-trick after the half-hour but Callum Connolly cleared.

Following the hour Addai parried Udoh’s fierce shot to safety, but Onyedinma nodded home Humphreys’ cross for Wycombe’s fourth after 70 minutes.

Addai initially prevented Wycombe’s fifth by denying Kone but he could not stop Morley’s low 77th-minute effort.
