Inih Effiong’s quickfire double in the first half helped Aldershot end a four-match losing streak in the Vanarama National League with a 2-1 win at Solihull Moors.
Aldershot’s slump had seen them fall down the table but they went ahead after a quarter of an hour when Effiong rose highest at the back post and headed well beyond Solihull goalkeeper Ryan Boot.
Effiong’s header ended Aldershot’s 244-minute wait for a goal in the league and the striker scored again moments after Moors had kicked off when he found space in the box and shot low past Boot.
Second-half substitute Bartosz Cybulski halved the deficit five minutes after the resumption, getting the final touch to bundle the ball over the line.
Cybulski and Andrew Dallas spurned gilt-edged opportunities late on as the hosts piled forward in search of an equaliser but Aldershot held firm to end their recent lean run.
