Town's biggest away win of the season sees them move back into the play-offs

Chris Millington's Solihull were no match for an impressive Shaymen side who produced a committed, wholehearted display to keep their play-off push on track.

Town's team talk was taken care of when Southend lost at Altrincham, providing all the motivation they needed.

And motivated was exactly how they looked, playing with zeal, focus and energy, and producing their biggest away win of the season.

Harris put them ahead when Town broke from a Solihull corner through Will Hugill’s lung busting run and after an initial shot was saved, Harris converted the rebound from near the penalty spot for his 25th goal of the campaign.

Ex-Town man Scott High was Solihull's best player, but his quality in midfield wasn't repliacted by his team-mates further forward.

One team looked like they were drifting towards the end of the season, while another had their foot on the gas towards their objective of a top seven finish.

Town filtered into a back five out of possession, and each of that quintet did their jobs to the letter, with Will Smith excelling in the middle.

Sam Johnson kept out a flick header by Bradley Stevenson and High's shot from 25 yards out; Halifax had come under pressure but it never felt like their defence was properly stretched.

The only criticism that could be levelled at Halifax was they'd been too careless in possession, but Town doubled their lead when Hmami found the net from inside the box in first-half added time after two shots had been blocked by Solihull.

Hmami thought he'd scored another ten minutes after the restart but it was disallowed for a foul on the Solihull keeper, a decsion that infuriated Adam Lakeland and Sam Walker.

Solihull were controlling most of the game, with Halifax content to try and hit them on the break, but the hosts weren't testing Sam Johnson anywhere near enough.

High went close again with a shot from outside the box just wide, but so did Jay Turner-Cooke for Town, whose effort was deflected narrowly off target.

For all their possession, Solihull had offered little threat, and any hope they had of a comeback disappeared when High was sent-off for a kick on the prone Turner-Cooke with 13 minutes left.

It was a procession after that, with Town cruising to victory, and substitute Kawa adding the gloss late on with a cool finish after being played through by Turner-Cooke.

Town man of the match: Difficult to pick one, with a lot of contenders. No Town player was less than seven out of ten, but I'll go for Will Smith, who didn't put a foot wrong all evening.
