Louie Barry and Kyle Wootton were on target for Stockport as they beat Bristol Rovers 2-0 to maintain their 100 per cent record in Sky Bet League One.
Barry struck a stunner six minutes before half-time at Edgeley Park and Wootton bundled in a second 25 minutes from time to seal County’s third win in three league games.
Rovers had looked comfortable for most of the first half but fell behind when Barry crashed in a half-volley from the edge of the box.
The hosts nearly doubled their lead moments later but Jack Diamond’s low shot was cleared off the line, with Wootton unable to force home the loose ball.
Rovers had a chance to level just before the break at a set-piece but goalkeeper Corey Addai denied Taylor Moore.
Seven minutes into the second half the hosts came close to doubling their advantage but Will Collar’s low drive was pushed wide by keeper Josh Griffiths, before Promise Omochere headed James Wilson’s cross over at the other end.
Stockport’s second goal came in the 65th minute. Fraser Horsfall nodded Ollie Norwood’s corner back across goal and the unmarked Wootton provided a simple tap-in.
Wootton had a chance to score his second goal when Horsfall set him up with a neat chest-down – but the striker fired wide.
Jake Garrett, Scott Sinclair and Omochere then missed second-half chances for Rovers, and Jayden Fevrier forced a good save out of Griffiths as Stockport saw out victory.
