Wycombe 1 York City 0: Resolute Olejnik is unable to spare York

On-loan Millwall striker Fred Onyedinma scored the only goal of the game after 47 minutes but, had it not been for a dazzling debut by goalkeeper Bobby Olejnik, the Minstermen would have suffered a heavier defeat.

Olejnik, recruited on loan from Peterborough until the end of the season, denied Onyedinma, three times, Marcus Bean and Aaron Pierre.

Wilcox said: “I have no qualms about saying the best team won.

“Bobby kept us in the game in the first half with some absolutely outstanding saves and, while we huffed and puffed a bit, we didn’t create too many opportunities.”

Olejnik denied Onyedinma after just six minutes and then smothered an eight-yard chance for Bean. He went on to keep out Aaron Pierre’s header and thwarted Onyedinma again with his legs on the stroke of half-time.

Onyedinma eventually made the breakthrough two minutes after the restart, heading past an exposed Olejnik from Sam Wood’s left-wing cross.

York’s best chances saw Keith Lowe volley over after Matt Ingram could not hold on to Michael Coulson’s corner and the home goalkeeper clawed away a deflected long-range strike by Marvin McCoy.

Onyedinma had further chances, being denied again by Olejnik’s feet and then shooting wide in stoppage time.
