Scott Kashket propelled Wycombe Wanderers into playoff contention after scoring both goals in the 2-0 win over Hartlepool.

Kashket, 20, scored in each half to earn the Chairboys their fourth consecutive victory in League 2. His goal-scoring efforts earned him a place in the Football League Team of the Week.

His tally made it five goals in six home matches, and the striker, who overcame a bout of glandular fever when he first arrived at the club following his move from Leyton Orient, has become an instant favourite with supporters at Adams Park.

Wycombe boss Gareth Ainsworth said: "Scott was very lively and he will take all the plaudits.

"He was a real thorn in the side of Hartlepool."
