Wycombe Wanderers 1 : 3 Burton Albion FC - Winning start for Hasselbaink
Posted Tuesday, November 18, 2014 by PA
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink was given the ideal start as manager of Burton Albion as his side earned an impressive 3-1 win at Wycombe Wanderers in his first match since taking over.
The Chairboys had the chance to go back to the top of League Two but goals by Phil Edwards, Alex MacDonald and Jacob Blyth helped the Brewers move level on points with their opponents.
Burton had their first goal under the new regime after 38 minutes when Edwards planted a powerful header from Matty Palmer's corner into the net.
The Brewers doubled their lead four minutes into the second half when Palmer's perfectly-weighted through-ball put in MacDonald, who calmly finished through Matt Ingram's legs.
Wycombe were given a route back into the game after Hogan Ephraim was tripped in the area by Shane Cansdell-Sherriff and Paul Hayes gave Jon McLaughlin no chance with his penalty.
However, the visitors quickly restored their two-goal advantage as Damien McCrory's cross from the left was headed in from close range by substitute Blyth.
