Rooney treble extends Salford’s unbeaten run
Posted Sunday, November 18, 2018 by PA
Adam Rooney scored a hat-trick as Salford romped to a 4-0 victory over Aldershot at the Peninsula Stadium to move up to second in the Vanarama National League and trail leaders Leyton Orient by just a single point.
Ammies captain Rooney handed the hosts an early lead as he tapped home Ibou Touray’s cross just two minutes in.
Salford top scorer Rooney completed his brace 10 minutes before the break in similar fashion as he slotted Touray’s assist in from close range at the far post for his 14th goal of the National League season.
The home side made it three just a minute into the second half after Carl Piergianni’s dangerous header from a corner was not made safe and Rory Gaffney got the last touch.
Rooney added the gloss and completed his treble with a 65th-minute penalty after Tom Walker was brought down in the box as Salford extended their unbeaten run to 17 league games.
