'Get the pubs open!' 'The perfect away performance' – Hartlepool United fans show delight with 1-0 win at Torquay United
Hartlepool United beat league leaders Torquay United 1-0 at Plainmoor on Saturday afternoon – but how did the fans react to a huge three points?
Luke Molyneux’s early goal proved to be the difference between the sides as Pools claimed their first away win of 2021 to draw level on points with the league leaders going into the game.
Only goal difference separates Hartlepool with a Torquay side who beat them 5-0 at Victoria Park earlier in the season and held a 14 point cushion at one stage.

Pools midfielder Gavan Holohan tweeted: “Huge win today, boys were outstanding. Makes the long trek back a little less long!”
