Smart Osadolor at the double for Annan against Montrose

Smart Osadolor's double helped Annan to edge Montrose 3-2 in a five-goal thriller at Galabank in Ladbrokes Scottish League 2.

Josh Todd went close to netting for Annan early on before Osadolor put the home side ahead with 12 minutes on the clock, as he had time to coolly slot home for his fourth goal in seven appearances this season.

Osadolor turned provider when Athletic doubled their lead through Matt Flynn, who converted the cross with a well-controlled low finish past Jordan Millar.

Graham Webster pulled one back for Montrose with a header early in the second half, before Osadolor had multiple chances to add a third for the home side.

The Nigerian forward eventually made it 3-1 seven minutes from time, heading home Peter Weatherson's cross.

Montrose's Ross McCord was fouled in the box in stoppage time and he stepped up to convert the resulting spot-kick, but it was too little too late for Paul Hegarty's men.
