The visitors took the lead on 12 minutes as Bradley Wright-Phillips headed in a whipped cross from the right side.

Clayton Donaldson nearly doubled their advantage midway through the second half, but he flashed his powerful effort narrowly wide.

The victory was sealed in the 83rd minute when substitute Marcello Trotta volleyed in from close range.
