City's nine men lose 3-1

9:49pm Tuesday 7th October 2008

JON Bass and Andy Sandell were both dismissed as Whites suffered their fourth Blue Square Premier defeat on the bounce.

They went down 3-1 to in-form Altrincham this evening in front of a crowd of 950.

Bass saw red for a professional foul on 13 minutes, but Whites still went in on level terms at the break.

However, Colin Little broke the deadlock inside 20 seconds of the second half.

Andy Sandell was controversially dismissed on the hour after receiving a second yellow card and a miserable night for the Whites got worse when Dale Johnson doubled Altrincham's lead on 85 minutes.

Substitute Charlie Griffin pulled a goal back for the Whites in added time, however there was still time for a Joe O'Neill penalty to complete the scoreline.
