Broad converted his second from Lovell's pullback on 80 minutes, with the midfielder then trebling his tally for the season in this match.

Town boss Bob Lane said: "It was a good second half performance.

"We started slowly because of a lack of games recently. That has allowed us to get players fit.

"In the first half of the season some of the team couldn't always get away from work in time to play for us."
