Carlisle 2-1 Stevenage
- From the section Football
Carlisle beat 10-man Stevenage to record their third win in four matches.
United started brightly and went in front through Rory Loy's header in his first home start after over a year out recovering from a broken leg.
The lead was soon doubled thanks to Lee Miller's penalty after Loy was brought down by Stevenage goalkeeper Steve Arnold, who was sent off as a result.
The visitors got one back through Marcus Haber's close-range header but Carlisle took the points.

"The way the game was officiated, we are all bitterly disappointed about. For the first goal the linesman's got his flag up.
"Of course at 2-0 with 10 men it's going to be incredibly difficult, but it should never have got to that point.
"Bad start, poor officiating, definitely not what you want on a long away day."
