FC UNITED'S march to the Moore and Co Solicitors League second division title was temporarily halted at Gigg Lane as Flixton ended their 18-match unbeaten run.

And the red rebels could have few complaints about their 2-1 defeat in front of a crowd of 1,924.

Graham Vaughan gave Flixton a deserved 36th minute lead when he curled in a shot from the edge of the box and there was further heartache for FC United as Lee Wilkinson made it 2-0 early in the second-half.

Skipper Dave Chadwick pulled one back for the hosts four minutes from time, but the visitors held on in a frantic finish.
