Mohamed hero to villain

STRIKER Kaid Mohamed turned from hero to villain at the Cwmbran Stadium where success lifted the Crows up six places to tenth.

The Cardiff-born marksman expertly lobbed over advancing Nomads' goalkeeper Matthew Pearson for what proved to the game's winning goal 11 minutes after the interval.

However, the former Llanelli player blotted his copy book three minutes from time when he was straight red-carded for kicking an opponent near the corner flag.

Mohamed will now miss three games for such an act of total indiscretion, hardly what Cwmbran are looking for give their on and off-the-field problems.

On it, goalkeeper Gareth Wesson produced a stunning save from a point-blank header from Craig Hutchinson before being left with little or no chance of saving a curling, long-range free kick from Martin Robinson.

Mohamed’s co-striker Kristian Hanbury levelled matters at the break when he turned his marker before firing a low, 15-yard shot past Pearson.

Hanbury then turned provider when Mohamed latched on to his through pass to secure the three points for the Gwent outfit.

Mohamed went on to hit a post after he'd rounded Pearson, but the Nomads also missed several goal opportunities which might have earned them a deserved point.
