Grimsby made a breathtaking start to their play-off semi-final against Salford as Reece Staunton volleyed home a long range strike after less than thirty seconds

The advantage was short-lived. Three minutes later Salford were level as a long ball was worked into Cesay, who finished coolly into the bottom corner.

And they completed the turnaround before the break as Oluwo headed home from a corner. There was, however, an element of controversy about it as Grimsby goalkeeper Jackson Smith appeared to have his line of sight impeded by a Salford player in an offside position.

The 26-year-old centre-back has been on a nomadic adventure through non-league before being picked up by Salford City last summer, and was at University a few years ago, not even contemplating a professional career in football.

But he showed how worthy he is of being at this level, at the very least, with an imperious display.

He scored the crucial goal that put Salford ahead in the tie at the end of the first half, but at the back he was immense on the ground and in the air, barely giving Grimsby's forwards a kick.
