Goals from Arkell Jude-Boyd and George Miller fired Cheltenham to a comfortable 2-0 home win over Morecambe.

Right-back Jude-Boyd opened the scoring in the 33rd minute with a fine piece of skill and an excellent finish.

Miller added the second in the 74th minute, following up after his initial effort was parried by Harry Burgoyne.

Cheltenham created the better chances in the first half, with Jordan Thomas clipping the top of the bar in the sixth minute with a shot from the edge of the box.

Jude-Boyd fired an effort into the side netting in the 21st minute, but he was able to celebrate his first home EFL goal after bringing down a long ball from Ibrahim Bakare, flicking it over a defender and curling a shot inside the bottom-left corner.

Hallam Hope shot wide from a good position in the 38th minute and he headed Morecambe’s best chance of the second half wide 20 minutes from the end.

Miller made sure of the points with his fifth goal of the season as Cheltenham won by a two-goal margin for the first time under Michael Flynn in League Two.
