WILL Longbottom's second-half brace from the penalty spot saw Guiseley beat Hebburn Town - a result which saw them leapfrog the Hornets in the play-off places.

It capped a second home victory in five days after Longbottom also netted a brace against Prescot Cables and takes them third on goal difference.

"We forced them into a mistake," Lions boss Mark Bower said.

"When you get in front like this you've got to show your professionalism and defensive quality. They never laid a glove on us in the second half." Despite defeat, Bower's opposite number Daniel Moore praised the visitors' performance, particularly in the first half and cited a Joe Cracknell save just before halftime as one that proved pivotal.
