Regan Linney hat-trick helps Carlisle to big win over Braintree

A hat-trick from Regan Linney helped Carlisle record a convincing 5-0 victory over Braintree.

He curled in a first 15 minutes in, before the Cumbrians doubled their lead just before the half-hour mark when George Langston turned into his own net from close range after Luke Armstrong squared the ball across goal.

The game was put beyond the visitors when Linney added his second and Carlisle’s third from the penalty spot in the 54th minute and he completed his treble and took his tally to five for the season as he glanced in a header from a Cameron Harper corner.

Jack Ellis headed in a fifth for Mark Hughes’ men to round off the scoring at Brunton Park, with Carlisle moving up to third as they bid for an immediate return to the EFL.
