Carlisle: setting the benchmark

When it comes to making the right substitutions, League Two's specialist over the past two seasons has been Carlisle United manager Keith Curle. The Cumbrians are the top-scoring League Two team (since 2016/17) when it comes to goals coming off the bench - and they were at it again last night: all 3 of their goals in a 1-3 win at Barnet scored by substitutes.

Exeter manager Paul Tisdale is Curle's closest rival when it comes to inspired changes: the Grecians scoring 18 goals via subs over the past two years.

Carlisle's win at Barnet was particularly special for rookie striker Ashley Nadesan, who scored two goals off the bench to open his account in senior football.
