A quickfire double from Kevin Berkoe and Josh Davison secured Shrewsbury a 2-1 victory over Oldham.

Luca Hoole could only nod Berkoe's back-post cross straight at Matthew Hudson early on.

Will Brook produced a good stop to tip Mike Fondop's powerful strike over the bar.

Sam Stubbs, who missed the target with a header earlier in the first half, once again squandered a chance when he nodded over from Tom Sang's free-kick on the stroke of half-time.

Leicester loanee Michael Golding came closest to breaking the deadlock when he struck the bar shortly after the restart.

Fondop could only glance a header wide of the mark heading into the final 20 minutes.

Berkoe opened the scoring in the 73rd minute as he headed home Sang's cross after the winger's surging run down the right-hand side.

And four minutes later Berkoe turned provider as his low cross allowed Davison to stab home the second.

Substitute Favour Fawunmi pulled one back in the third minute of stoppage time as he fired into the bottom corner from a poor clearance.

But time ran out of time for the Latics as they slipped to a third league defeat in five.
