A CHAOTIC 10 minutes saw Worcester City score five goals in a hammering of struggling Rugby Town.

The hosts did well to stop City from taking advantage of several first half chances and found themselves unfortunate to not be leading when Chris Clements dragged his shot wide in the 16th minute.

City were keen to put their 3-2 defeat to Sporting Khalsa on Tuesday (October 22) behind them, but things looked to be going from bad to worse when Rugby took the lead with a header from Liam Francis in the 44th minute and went in to half-time with a shock lead.

Rugby hadn't won in the league since their 1-0 victory over Racing Club Warwick in August, and hadn't led a match since scoring the opener in a 1-1 draw with Coventry Phoenix on Saturday, October 5.

Sadly for the Warwickshire side, their hopes for three points wouldn't last long as Kyle Belmonte would score a 25 yard rocket to bring things level in the 49th minute.

City would take the lead just a minute later when Felix Miles would latch onto Taylor Townsend ball through to tap home from point blank.

The goals were now coming thick and fast for City as Zach Guinan would find himself on the scoresheet twice in four minutes. 

The number nine's first goal came in the 53rd minute when he knocked in a cross from Jordan Lymn.

In the 56th minute, Guinan capitalised on a mistake from Rugby keeper Paul Hathaway to make it 1-4 to City.

Felix Miles grabbed a brace in the 58th minute when more defensive mistakes from a deflated Rugby side gave him the chance to make it 1-5.

Five minutes after coming off the bench for City, Dylan Hart picked up his first goal of the season with a header from a set piece and put City six goals to the good.

Free scoring Belmonte nearly added another to his tally in the final seconds when he struck the crossbar, but the game would end 1-6.

City are back in action on Saturday (November 2) when they take on midtable Colehill Town at Claines Lane.
