"It's tremendous, to have two wins from two and no goals conceded. The desire of the players, the application of the players, all the credit is on their shoulders."

Hartlepool United head coach Lee Clark hailed his side's "desire" following Saturday's battling 1-0 win over Aldershot Town.

Substitute Corey McKeown headed home a debut goal 10 minutes after his introduction as Pools maintained their perfect start to the new National League season.

While it was by no means a vintage Pools performance and Shots striker Marcus Dinanga, who failed to find the net in 15 matches during a loan spell at Victoria Park in the 2018/19 campaign, blazed a woeful 87th minute penalty well over Max Merrick's crossbar, Clark's side showed plenty of spirit, commitment and determination underneath the blazing Hampshire sun.
