Oldham 0 - 3 Hartlepool

Oldham   0 - 3   Hartlepool

Goals from James Brown, Leon McSweeney and Denis Behan gave Hartlepool a comfortable victory over an Oldham side without a home win since February.

Brown found the net from 20 yards and McSweeney doubled the lead with a close-range header after 37 minutes.

Denis Behan wrapped up the three points with a stunning 30-yard free-kick into the top corner on the hour mark.

Pawel Abbott and Jon Worthington went close for Oldham, who have now gone 10 home league games without a win.
